Hi German,
I think you are comparing apples with oranges. Grid computing is
essentially a type of distributed computing which means the underlying
infrastructures are located in geologically different places. Parallel
computing is usually done on one single cluster (either SMP or not). I dont
think it has anything to do with the language(c/c++, java, perl
), thats
not the point. You might want to re-think your research direction. This
comparison really does not make much sense. Thanks.

Subject: [gt-user] Grid vs parallel applications.
Hello all,
Im doing research by comparing performance between grid and parallel
applications, but I feel like Im comparing apples with oranges. I mean, I
know how to use MPI in C, but most of the documentation Ive found about GT4
relates to Java Web Services. Where could I find further documentation
regarding the C WS Core, or how to use the C Common libraries included with
the toolkit?
Also, does anyone know about similar research or studies? Im kinda lost
and itd be great if someone can point me in the right direction.
