Computational grids do not yet exist. However, the essential building blocks from which they will be constructed --advanced optical networks, fast microprocessors, parallel computer architectures, communication protocols, distributed software structures, security mechanisms, electronic commerce techniques, are now, or soon will be, in place.)

Unlike conventional networks that focus on communication among devices, grid computing harnesses unused processing cycles of all computers in a network for solving problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine. A well-known grid computing project is the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) @Home project ... Grid computing does require special software that is unique to the computing project for which the grid is being used)
