Program Plan Intro
Grid computing:
- In grid computing, widely distributed computer resources are used to reach a common goal.
- In this process, multiple computers are combined from multiple administrative domains in order to solve a single task or to reach a common goal.
- Grid computing is also considered as “super virtual computer” which comprises of many networked loosely coupled computers acting together in order to perform large tasks.
