Grid computing originated from its grid-like architecture. IT tries to link the redundant computing power with other idle IT resources to supply those departments that need high-performance computing power in a certain period of time. In June 2002, Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology sent data from Japan to the United States at a speed of 707 Mbps-this is the first time in the world to transmit data at such a high speed at a distance of 654.38+100000 km. This experiment is realized through a grid system.

Simply put, grid is to integrate many computing resources on the Internet into a virtual supercomputer, and to "twist all kinds of CPU-based resources into a rope" to realize the comprehensive enjoyment of all kinds of resources. Of course, the grid doesn't have to cross national boundaries, but it can also build regional grids, such as urban grids, enterprise internal grids, local area network grids, and even home grids. The fundamental feature of grid is not its scale, but the enjoyment of resources.

With the development of grid computing, some people regard it as the future Internet technology.

Grid system is a hardware and software system that integrates distributed system components (such as computer system, memory, etc.). ) so that users can treat them as a single large-scale "virtualized" computing system.
