 * Grid computing** is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal. The **grid** can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. Unlike conventional networks that focus on communication among devices, grid computing harnesses unused processing cycles of all computers in a network for solving problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine. Grid computing does require special software that is unique to the computing project for which the grid is being used.
