A-Ware is developing a stable, supported, commercially exploitable, high quality technology to give easy access to grid resources. [1] AssessGrid addresses obstacles to wide adoption of grid technologies by bringing risk management and assessment to this field, enabling use of grid computing in business and society. [2]
“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 ...

Xgrid is a proprietary grid computing program and protocol developed by the Advanced Computation Group subdivision of Apple Inc. [3]It provides network administrators a method of creating a computing cluster, which allows them to exploit previously unused computational power for calculations that can be divided easily into smaller operations, such as Mandelbrot maps.
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.
The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles, [1] and Android devices. Each project seeks to utilize the computing power of many internet connected devices to solve problems and perform tedious, repetitive research in a very cost effective manner.
Example architecture of a geographically disperse computing system connecting many nodes over a network. Grid computing uses a large number of computers in distributed, diverse administrative domains. It is an opportunistic approach which uses resources whenever they are available. [10] An example is BOINC a volunteer-based, opportunistic grid ...
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.
