1 Therefore, the most basic definition of computing grid is: collaborative resource sharing in a dynamic environment of a variety of systems and the same problem.

2, if you regard the Internet as a communication network, the grid calculation is the calculation network: the tools and protocols used to coordinate resource sharing and problem solving between assets. These co-assets are called virtual organizations. They can be distributed around the world; they are heterogeneous (some are PCs, some are servers, perhaps some large machines and supercomputers); to some extent is independent (grid may access different organizations); And it is temporary. Although grid computing has been hiding in the theoretical and research activities (which has been like this over the past decade), more and more companies are beginning to help to solve stubborn real problems.
