A taxonomy for grid applications

Alin Suciu, Rodica Potolea · 2008

The concept of Grid Computing addresses the next evolutionary step of distributed computing. Offering storage and computation capabilities to users not having those resources is the ultimate goal of grid computing. In this paper we introduce a taxonomy for grid applications, aiming at a better understanding of the categories of applications that could benefit from gridification. The proposed taxonomy captures in a simple and straightforward way the concepts of control parallelism and data parallelism.
