If you
have high volume "number crunching" jobs to
process but aren't in position to make substantial
investments in new hardware, Grid Computing could be the
answer for you.
Grid computing is an
advanced approach to distributed
computing. Geo-Grid Computing (GGC) uses
distributed computing resources to master large spatial
processing jobs.
Geo-Grid Computing
can tackle a spatial processing problem that would take
a single machine a few weeks to complete, and finish it
in a fraction of the time.
The problem is doled out to many machines at the
same time. Slower machines get smaller tasks. A machine
is assigned a new task the moment it finishes its
current one . . . until the job is complete.
Geo-Grid Computing allows
you to:
