P2p/Grid Computing seem like a promising concepts. JXTA looks like the only all in one framework for it. Is there a reason this field is so sparsely pursued?

how can I parametrize a shell script that is executed on a grid (started with qsub) ? I have a shell script, where I use getopts to read the parameters. When I start (qsub script.sh -r firstparam...

There are some commands I'd like to run on a grid using qsub (SGE 8.1.3, CentOS 5.9) that need to use a pipe (|) or a redirect (>). For example, let's say I have to parallelize the command echo...

I am doing project in remote sensing. Working with HDF on matlab is very easy. But i want to implement this with grid computing (Ubuntu). So i am trying with octave. I have HDF4 files of chlorophyl...

As far as I know, the answer is no. OpenCL is designed for multi-cores system. But, is there any way to use OpenCL on multi-computers ( each computer is a multi-cores system ) ? If not, are any ad...

I'm looking to create Rust implementations of some small bioinformatics programs for my research. One of my main considerations is performance, and while I know that I could schedule the Rust progr...

What are the significant differences between Cloud Computing and Grid Computing ? What are the precise definations and target application domains for both ? I'm looking for conceptual insight...

I'm developing high-scalable application, so I decided to use Hazelcast for it. I have one frontend server, which puts messages for nodes. Every node in cluster change it's workload in background t...

What is the difference between Cloud, Cluster and Grid? Please give some examples of each as the definition of cloud is very broad. As answered in another question, can I call Dropbox, Gmail,...

I want client machines on internet who subscribe to my server to donate their idle cpu cycles.(Like SETI@Home) They would take jobs(work-units) from server to process, and send back results to th...

I am currently researching the options that are available (both Open Source and Commercial) for developing a distributed application. "A distributed system consists of multiple autonomous ...

I am developing a scientific application used to perform physical simulations. The algorithms used are O(n3), so for a large set of data it takes a very long time to process. The application runs a...
