After Internet2, “grids” may be the next big thing in high-performance computing. A grid is a network of computational research centers whose supercomputer clusters, databases, and specialized ...

Having helped scientists study the building blocks of the universe, peer inside the human body in miniscule detail and monitor climate change, grid computing could soon be put to more mundane uses by ...

This turned out to be a pretty nerdy post, but there are nuggets you might be able to use as small talk in the next mosh pit you visit. (Hey, it's worth a try.) The World Community Grid is a network ...

According to Gartner, if the concept of grid computing meets widespread acceptance, it could forever alter the role of service providers. In an interview with TechRepublic, Bernhard Borges, managing ...

The concept of “grid computing” was created in the late 1990s by researchers at Argonne National Labs and other places. Like many revolutionary concepts in IT, including the World Wide Web and ...

If you want to invest in a grid project, hiring Univa would be like paying Tim Berners-Lee to set up your home page. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, ...

Although grids and clusters may both satisfy high-performance or high-throughput requirements by enabling distributed computing, grids solve the more complicated problem of providing computing ...

In genetics, with increasing data sizes and more advanced algorithms for mining complex data, a point is reached where increased computational capacity or alternative solutions becomes unavoidable.

Being middleware, BOINC isn’t nearly as well known as some of the grid computing-based volunteer projects – like SETI@home and Rosetta@home — that exploit it. But the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for ...

Grid computing's goal of sharing resources is still a plan for many corporate customers; the question is how to get there most effectively. Depending on who describes it, grid computing has grown from ...

For enterprise software engineers that want to cut their teeth on Grid computing development, a new release by Charles River Media, Inc. “Grid Computing for Developers” might be worth taking a look at ...

Data-intensive research fields such as physics and life science will soon benefit from grid computing technology, a new method for analyzing massive amounts of data demonstrated in Australia for the ...
