Grid computing[edit]

Edge computing and Grid computing are related. Whereas Grid computing would be hard-coded into
a specific application to distribute its complex and resource intensive computational needs across a
global grid of cheap networked machines, edge computing provides a generic template facility for
any type of application to spread its execution across a dedicated grid of prepared expensive
machines.
