High-performance GRID computing in chemoinformatics

The field of Grid computing provides access to a scalable pool of computing resources and promises to unlock many chemometric problems that were previously computationally prohibitive. This chapter describes many of the details and concepts behind the Grid paradigm, and presents a number of chemometric investigations that have adopted the Grid to address their computational and data access needs.
