Acording to Wikipedia, Grid Computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems using large numbers of computers arranged as clusters embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure. Grid computing's focus on the ability to support computation across administrative domains sets it apart from traditional distributed computing.
Grid computing has the design goal of solving problems too big for any single supercomputer, whilst retaining the flexibility to work on multiple smaller problems. Thus grid computing provides a multi-user environment.
Another good resource for information on Grid Computing is the latest issue of the IBM Systems Journal. One nice feature of the SJ is that it provides both web and PDF versions of their publications.
