Grid Computing Information and Links

Interest in grid computing is growing quickly these days. There is a lot of information out there on, and for the sites that do this area justice, their maintainers spend as much time devoted to grid computing as we try to spend on clustering here. In that vein, we feel that it's best to not try to spread ourselves too thin, and cover both clustering and grid computing. This page is our attempt to provide some pointers to other sites that have grid computing information.
