Grid computing distributes complex computational tasks across a global network of cheap machines, while edge computing provides a generic framework to spread execution across dedicated expensive machines near endpoints. Edge computing differs from grid computing in that it uses prepared expensive machines near endpoints rather than distributing tasks to a global network of cheap machines.

Grid computing[edit]

Edge computing and Grid computing are related. Whereas Grid computing would be hard-coded into
a specific application to distribute its complex and resource intensive computational needs across a
global grid of cheap networked machines, edge computing provides a generic template facility for
any type of application to spread its execution across a dedicated grid of prepared expensive
machines.
