Think about it in the way it is used. For example, some scientists are working on a project which requires a lot of equation running and analyzing data. Their supercomputer can only do so much though, and the results would take maybe even a few months. So instead, they put the equations and data to analyze into a data packet and send it out to a volunteer computer on the grid. The simple home computer (today's home computer is the supercomputer of yesterday) runs the data packet, runs the equations, and analyzes the data, then sends it back to the project. This is a more efficient way of computing for many research projects.
IBM had a big hand in developing it, so check their website for more information.

Is Cloud Computing going to be better than Grid Computing?
Cloud computing is better then normal grid computing as its cheaper to buy, use and maintain. Cloud computing can offer web hosting also which grid computing can not.
When was Journal of Grid Computing created?
Journal of Grid Computing was created in 2003.
Is grid computing an advanced computing?
"Distributed" or "grid" computing in general is a special type of parallel computing, it is advanced in the means of using distributed computing.
What does cloud computing mean, and are the benefits of it greater than grid computing?
Cloud computing or grid computing depends on the task at hand. If you want to focus on a single enormous task, then go with grid computing. Cloud computing is more for multitasking.
What does the term grid computing refer to?
The term grid computing refers to collecting computer resources from multiple locations to reach common goals. A popular example of grid computing is the SETI project. You can get more information about grid computing at the Wikipedia.
Will you please send slides on grid computing?
try checking out Gridipedia if you need info on Grid computing
What is grid computing versus cloud computing?
Grid computing is when you store information on other computers on the same network. Cloud computing is when you store information or data online, and not on the device.
Grid Computing Vs. Cloud Computing?
There are a few similarities and differences between grid computing and cloud computing. Both are scalable and allow multitenancy as well as multitasking. Unlike grid computing, cloud computing is a relatively recent development and doesn't require infrastructure. Cloud computing is ideal for business that need more virtual space but do not want to invest in new equipment. Grid computing, on the other hand, uses the resources from a number of computers at the same time.
