Computer Science (31)Grid computing is a very important area for high performance computation and resource sharing. Computers can be distributed world-wide to create a global cluster. This project adapts existing material on cluster computing and existing graduate material on grid computing (for example, from the University of New Hampshire and the University of Melbourne in Australia) to introduce grid computing into undergraduate curricula. Grid computing is applied not only to high performance scientific computing but also to enhance business practices and to achieve cost saving. The project addresses security and management issues in addition to application programming issues, demonstrates how undergraduate institutions can provide their students with grid computing facilities, and offers educators new course materials for teaching grid computing.

网格计算是高性能计算和资源共享的一个非常重要的领域。计算机可以分布在世界各地，以创建一个全球集群。这个项目改编了现有的关于集群计算的材料和现有的关于网格计算的研究生材料（例如，来自澳大利亚新罕布什尔大学和墨尔本大学），将网格计算引入本科课程。网格计算不仅用于高性能的科学计算，而且用于增强业务实践和实现成本节约。除了应用程序编程问题外，该项目还解决了安全和管理问题，演示了本科院校如何为学生提供网格计算设施，并为教育工作者提供了教授网格计算的新课程材料。
