Large Scale (termed Grande) computing can benefit from the rich set of commodity technologies being developed to support the "Internet"
-
For the first time, we have commercial commodity software to support a "complete computing model" -- this we call the Pragmatic Object Web
-
For instance both metacomputing and parallel computing can be viewed as special cases of a "Internet/Web" distributed Information System

|
As Grande computing is a small field ( 0.5 to 5% depending on what you count) compared to commodity computing but solving as difficult a problem, one can benefit by building Grande computing environments on a commodity base
|
"Just" need to add "Grande Functionality"
-
High Performance, Low Latency, Precision, Complexity
