Computational and Electrical Grids Compared

Grid computing's evolution can best be measured by how it compares to electrical grids, concludes a new paper by Madhu Chetty of Monash University and Rajkumar Buyya of the University of Melbourne.
Much has been made of the utility computing vision for Grid computing, where compute power would be delivered just like electricity from an outlet, without the user giving a thought to where the power came from or its complexity and reliability. In an article published in the July/August issue of the IEEE journal "Computing in Science and Engineering," Chetty and Buyya took the metaphor a step further with a point-by-point comparison of computational and electrical grids. more from GridComputingPlanet
