GridServer Services

A Service is a self-contained application or business function that is distributed to remote computing resources. A client application makes requests, which are routed by GridServer to those resources, which then return results to the client. One use of a Service is to load balance an application, whereby the client application receives requests and submits them asynchronously to the Service, which then executes these multiple, unrelated computations in parallel. Another use is to execute a single, larger computation. The client splits the computation into multiple, independent pieces, submits them asynchronously, and combines the returned results.
