Computational Grid

One of Platform's most powerful features is its Computational Grid. This feature allows a developer to break down a large task into smaller, potentially interdependent tasks to be executed asynchronously in as parallel a fashion as possible. This allows you to increase throughput for a large category of algorithms by adding additional grid services to handle the parallel tasks.

The Computational Grid service process tasks delegated to them, and the more nodes you have, the more effective they'll be. Tasks can be run in real time or in scheduled batches which can utilize the Process Variation components of a model to compute, validate, raise issues, send notifications, etc.
