| | Grid computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pragmatically, Grid computing is attractive to geographically-distributed non-profit collaborative research efforts like the NCSA Bioinformatics Grids such as BIRN: external Grids. | | | Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems by making use of the unused resources (CPU cycles and/or disk storage) of large numbers of disparate computers, often desktop computers, treated as a virtual cluster embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure. | | | Grid computing is also attractive to large commercial enterprises with complex computation problems who aim to fully exploit their internal computing power: internal Grids. |

| | WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: World Community Grid |
| | World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity. | | | Do not confuse "grid computing" with general distributed computing or decentralized peer to peer computing; the words "grid computing" are now taking on a specific meaning which I feel is going to end up totally eclipsed by the other forms of distributed computing. | | | I just wanted to point out that grid computing is a specific term relating to a subset of distributed computing, and there is a lot more exciting research going on in distributed computing than that represented by the Global Grid Forum, which is essentially the nexus of grid computing research. |

| | Grids come in various sizes, from cluster grids that pull workgroup computers into a single system, to those that link clustered computers, to enterprise grids that tie computers in a single organization, to global grids that tie computers from multiple organizations into massively parallel high-performance computing engines. | | | Grid computing architectures provide advantages in performance and flexibility but there are still issues keeping many companies from leaping too quickly onto the grid bandwagon. | | | Grid computing has been cost-effective for Incyte Genomics.The company moved from a 32-processor Sun E10000 to an Intel-based grid running Platform Computing's software, and Jackson's price/performance calculations show the grid is about 10 times less expensive for the same computer power. |
