| | Distributed computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Distributed computing differs from cluster computing in that computers in a distributed computing environment are typically not exclusively running "group" tasks, whereas clustered computers are usually much more tightly coupled. | | | Distributed computing is decentralised and parallel computing, using two or more computers communicating over a network to accomplish a common objective or task. | | | Parabon Computation [10] — One of the largest commercial distributed computing networks. |

| | Distributed & Grid Computing |
| | Distributed computing: Increasingly known as grid computing, this approach connects a wide variety of computer types and computing resources, such as storage area networks, to create vast "virtual" reservoirs of computers serving geographically widely separated users. | | | Grid Computing can be defined as applying resources from many computers in a network to a single problem, usually one that requires a large number of processing cycles or access to large amounts of data. | | | One reason is that many distributed computing software vendors are making it easier to incorporate a mix of PCs, Macs, Linux and Unix servers, and even high-end multiprocessor servers as nodes in a peer-to-peer computing system. |

| | Distributed Computing |
| | Distributed computing is a science which solves a large problem by giving small parts of the problem to many computers to solve and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. | | | These projects are so large, and require so much computing power to solve, that they would be impossible for any one computer or person to solve in a reasonable amount of time. | | | This site does not cover P2P projects (which are more about file sharing than about distributed computing), private distributed computing projects (projects in which the general public can't participate), or projects that research distributed computing theory (ways to do distributed computing). |
