Re:So what exactly is "grid computing"? (Score 1)

Its certainly a buzzword and have lots of potential. But currently its too immature to make any sense. Its Some times avoiding certain techonologies like CORBA and RMI and making its own protocols. But it seems like an amalgamation of Distributed cmputing and Parallel computing with newer protocols(like RFT,GridFTP, SOAP) and architecture (SOA). Its certianly supposed to be more productive than the systems its imitating but at this point its too fragile.
