Grid Computing Takes Off in the Enterprise
Overview The concept of grid computing is very similar to the methods used to create many massively parallel supercomputers. The current fastest supercomputers are, after all, federations of thousands of independent processors. The main difference is that supercomputers have much faster connections between processors and between processors and memory than grid computers ever will. A secondary, but perhaps equally important, difference is that in both a supercomputer and a cluster, all the computing resources are under the control of a single organization and are usually dedicated to a single task.
