In some cases between different countries in other cases between different continents.\u003cbr\u003eThis idea of using computer power is similar to the well known electric power utility technology. Hence the name of this distributed computing technology is the Grid Computing.\u003cbr\u003eInitially grid computing was used by technologically advanced scientific users.\u003cbr\u003eThey used grid computing to experiment with large scale problems which required high performance computing facilities and collaborative work.\u003cbr\u003eIn the next stage of development the grid computing technology has become effective and economically attractive for large and medium size commercial companies.\u003cbr\u003eIt is expected that eventually the grid computing style of providing computing power will become universal reaching every user in industry and business.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45310413373591,"sku":"9780444519993","price":13789.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780444519993.webp?v=1769287837","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/grid-computing-the-new-frontier-of-high-performance-computing-9780444519993","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
