  2. Grid computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing

    “Distributed” or “grid” computing in general is a special type of parallel computing that relies on complete computers (with onboard CPUs, storage, power supplies, network interfaces, etc.) connected to a network (private, public or the Internet) by a conventional network interface producing commodity hardware, compared to the lower efficiency of designing and constructing a small ...

  3. Massively parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massively_parallel

    One approach is grid computing, where the processing power of many computers in distributed, diverse administrative domains is opportunistically used whenever a computer is available. [1] An example is BOINC, a volunteer-based, opportunistic grid system, whereby the grid provides power only on a best effort basis. [2]

  4. Computer cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster

    A computer cluster is a set of computers that work together so that they can be viewed as a single system. Unlike grid computers, computer clusters have each node set to perform the same task, controlled and scheduled by software. The newest manifestation of cluster computing is cloud computing.

  5. High-performance computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing

    The term is most commonly associated with computing used for scientific research or computational science. A related term, high-performance technical computing (HPTC), generally refers to the engineering applications of cluster-based computing (such as computational fluid dynamics and the building and testing of virtual prototypes).

  6. List of grid computing projects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grid_computing...

    OurGrid aims to deliver grid technology that can be used today by current users to solve present problems. To achieve this goal, it uses a different trade-off compared to most grid projects: it forfeits supporting arbitrary applications in favor of supporting only bag-of-tasks applications. ScottNet NCG – A distributed neural computing grid.

  7. UNICORE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNICORE

    UNICORE (UNiform Interface to COmputing REsources) is a grid computing technology for resources such as supercomputers or cluster systems and information stored in databases. UNICORE was developed in two projects funded by the German ministry for education and research (BMBF). In European-funded projects UNICORE evolved to a middleware system ...

  9. History of computer clusters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_clusters

    In 1995 the Beowulf cluster—a cluster built on top of a commodity network for the specific purpose of "being a supercomputer" capable of performing tightly coupled parallel HPC computations—was invented, [3] which spurred the independent development of grid computing as a named entity, although Grid-style clustering had been around at least ...
