commodity computing
1Commodity computing — (or Commodity cluster computing) is to use large numbers of already available computing components for parallel computing to get the greatest amount of useful computation at low cost.[1] It is computing done in commodity computers as opposed to… …
2Computing platform — A computing platform includes some sort of hardware architecture and a software framework (including application frameworks), where the combination allows software to run. Typical platforms include a computer s architecture, operating system,… …
3Data Intensive Computing — is a class of parallel computing applications which use a data parallel approach to processing large volumes of data typically terabytes or petabytes in size and typically referred to as Big Data. Computing applications which devote most of their …
4Advanced Computing Environment — The Advanced Computing Environment (ACE) was defined by an industry consortium in the early 1990s to be the next generation commodity computing platform, the successor to Wintel based personal computers. Formation The consortium was announced on… …
5History of computing hardware — Computing hardware is a platform for information processing (block diagram) The history of computing hardware is the record of the ongoing effort to make computer hardware faster, cheaper, and capable of storing more data. Computing hardware… …
6Cluster (computing) — A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely so that in many respects they form a single computer. The components of a cluster are commonly, but not always, connected to each other through fast local area networks.… …
7Grid 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. What …
8Kernel (computing) — A kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware… …
9Beowulf (computing) — Originally referring to a specific computer built in 1994, Beowulf is a class of computer clusters similar to the original NASA system. They are high performance parallel computing clusters of inexpensive personal computer hardware. The name… …
