Three of most well-known computing paradigms are considered throughout this research. These are: cluster, grid, and cloud computing paradigms. Each of the three paradigms is defined, architecture is considered, areas of applications of each paradigm are explored, and advantages and disadvantages are listed. At the end of the research some factors are set to distinguish between the three types of paradigms; all these factors are expressed deeply throughout the research. At the end, the research concludes that the three paradigms have too much in common, but they also have a lot of differences, these made no preference of one over another.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
