    What is the 'CPU scavenging' used in the Grid- computing system?

    A)  The creation of a grid by establishing the cloud by cracking the used memory resources of the participants

    B)  The creation of a grid by hacking the unused CPU memory of the participant unit resource

    C)  The creation of a grid from the used memory resources in a network of participants

    D)  The creation of a grid from the unused resources in a network of participants

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] CPU-scavenging, cycle-scavenging, or shared computing creates a "grid" from the unused resources in a network of participants (whether worldwide or internal to an organization). Typically this technique uses desktop computer instruction cycles that would otherwise be wasted at night, during lunch, or even in the scattered seconds throughout the day when the computer is waiting for user input on relatively fast devices. In practice, participating computers also donate some supporting amount of disk storage space, RAM, and network bandwidth, in addition to raw CPU power.
