Grid+Computing

Grid computing is an emerging model that can perform faster operations. It takes advantage of multiple networked computers to model a virtual architecture that distributes process execution across a parallel infrastructure. Grids use the resources of many computers at separate sites, connected by a network (usually the Internet) to solve large-scale computation problems, use computing resources efficiently, and conduct educational research. School systems and other organizations should consider grid computing to utilize existing resources more efficiently or improve the efficiency of school data processes and other functions.
