Talk:Grid computing

Grid computing was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Grid computing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20140623054613/http://www.grid.org/stats/ to http://www.grid.org/stats/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Close paraphrasing?

An IP has alleged a potential problem. I removed their comment and replaced it with a maintenance tag. Ifnord (talk) 21:36, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover IOSRJournals is a predatory publisher, not a reliable source - Arjayay (talk) 10:21, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I compared current article against http://www.iosrjournals.org/iosr-jce/papers/Vol16-issue3/Version-4/C016341019.pdf and found no significant three-word copied phrases. The anonymous edit that added the IOSR link said the page essentially copied the whole paper. In my opinion, it did not and does not. OldNorthCounty (talk) 05:51, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Heterogeneous computing into Grid computing

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge on the grounds that the topics and distinct and independently notable. Klbrain (talk) 22:19, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heterogeneous computing and grid computing appear to be functionally indistinguishable. Ethanpet113 (talk) 23:13, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ethanpet113: Are there any reliable sources that describe them as synonyms? Jarble (talk) 18:26, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am opposed the this merger. Heterogeneous computing is concerned with the micros-scale, within the bounds of the computing node. Grid Computing is on the macro-scale and describes the challenges of federating services across data centers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.110.7 (talk) 19:57, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also opposed, for the same reason: heterogeneous computing is (simplistically) about stuffing GPGPU cards into servers, whereas Grid is about access to a variety of remote, shared resources. It doesn't help that this article presently fails to mention "virtual organisations" or "single sign-on" which are basically what distinguishes Grid^[1] from clouds, clusters and other distributed computing frameworks. --Louis Knee (talk) 17:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. Heterogenous computing and Grid computing are different concepts which should not be confused. While a grid system can be heterogenous (with multiple ISAs), it does not have to be. Neither does a heterogenous computing system need to involve multiple simultaneous networked or even interconnected nodes. Heterogeneity can also be expressed over time (checkpointing, with resumption on a single node later). Johan Hanson (talk) 16:50, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
