Glossary

As you have probably discovered, while there is some crossover with other areas of computing, grid computing has its own set of terms. And there are plenty of them! Thankfully several excellent glossaries exist. Therefore instead of creating another one here, we will provide you with a list to choose from.

Most of these glossaries are listed in alphabetical order. But many of the terms are related in various other ways. Future versions of this cookbook may provide a glossary with terms related, instead, by category, hierarchy, area of science, project, and so forth.
