ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 Question 15
ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 15 of 80
Grid Computing — distributing a task across multiple networked computers to gain computational power.
Why (a): Grid computing splits workloads among several machines connected via a network, combining their resources into a virtual supercomputer.
Why not others:
- (b) Virtualization/Emulation — emulating physical devices for portability and compatibility
- (c) Real-time systems — constraints on response time and temporal validity of sensor data
- (d) IoT (Internet of Things) — sensing devices networked for feedback/control via mobile devices
Key rule: Grid computing = many computers + one big task. Think SETI@home or protein folding projects.
