Grid computing: the old is new again
Technical notes. Cyworld, the Korean social network software that dwarfs MySpace is moving to grid network. While IBM and other places are working on developing grid computing, this effort by the South Koreans aims at commercializing this new tech first.
IBM has info on its site about grid technology and Wikipedia defines grid as
Grid computing is an emerging computing model that provides the ability to perform higher throughput computing by taking advantage of many networked computers to model a virtual computer architecture that is able to distribute process execution across a parallel infrastructure. Grids use the resources of many separate computers connected by a network (usually the Internet) to solve large-scale computation problems. Grids provide the ability to perform computations on large data sets, by breaking them down into many smaller ones, or provide the ability to perform many more computations at once than would be possible on a single computer, by modeling a parallel division of labour between processes.
