Computing power on tap.

Focuses on a proposal termed the Grid, which would make processing power available on demand anywhere by combining millions of computers via a global network. How this could facilitate scientific computation; Explanation of peer-to-peer computing as the foundation for the Grid concept; Commercial a...
