CLIMATE PREDICTION:
Supercomputers :
Many CPU’s connected by a high speed local computer bus
Advantage :
1. Node can be bought as commodity hardware
2. Lower cost
Disadvantage:
1. Local storage areas do not have high speed connections
2. Physical challenges in supplying electricity and cooling capacity in one single location
3. expensive and difficult to write programs
CONTD..
Grid Computing:
On board CPU of complete computers connected by a network interface
Advantage:
2. need for connectivity is less between nodes relative to the capacity of the
internet
Disadvantage: Data is less secure
Differ in programming considerations and infra structure
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
