What is a grid? It’s more difficult to answer this question today than it was in 2002, because commercialization of the technology has resulted in many products and implementations that are labeled ...

Cloud computing and Grid computing are the two words that end up confusing many people as they are similar in theory. Cloud computing and Grid computing involves a massive computer network ...

To increase the efficiency of any task, the authors require a system that would provide high performance along with flexibilities and cost efficiencies for user. Distributed computing, as they are all ...

In a sort of digital interpretation of the adage, “Waste not, want not,” the basic idea of grid computing is to use the computational power of idle PCs and harness those heretofore wasted cycles to ...

Aside from GPUs, you don’t hear much about co-processors these days. [bitluni] perhaps missed those days, because he found a way to squeeze a 160 core RISC V supercluster onto a single m.2 board, and ...

The dawn of high-performance computing came in the 1970s with the development of the Cray 1 and other custom-built supercomputers running proprietary operating systems. The early 1990s saw the use of ...

Remote working has always been there; but in the aftermath of the pandemic, it has largely supplanted the traditional in-office work. Since employees are working from different corners of the world, ...

More work needs to be done on Linux at the operating system level, grids will have limited appeal, and there will be a mass movement to embrace clustering software among organizations large and small.

Having jumped into the world of Linux with a $1 billion commitment this year, IBM is now about to make a foray into what it thinks will be the next big direction in IT: grid computing. The idea, to ...
