Distributed computing

How exactly is this different? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 00:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Distributed computing in general is just computation using multiple computers (possibly even dedicated clusters that do not need to "share" their use with other workloads). Shared computing is a subset of distributed computing where cycle stealing or idle cycles only are used, usually by people volunteering their PCs. -- Bovineone 04:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
