A service grid is an Ignite cluster where we can deploy/undeploy our services. A service is a set of APIs or functionalities with a purpose, for example, you can define your order service with a set of APIs to submit or cancel an order, or list all orders.
Ignite's computation focuses on distributing computation across multiple nodes. It includes a data grid, a compute grid, and a service grid. The main difference between a data, a compute, and a service grid is the pattern and purpose of execution.
In a compute grid, a computation is split into multiple sub-tasks and executes them in multiple grid nodes in parallel. A compute grid improves scalability, availability, and the throughput of computation. The common compute grid technique is MapReduce/forkjoin. Ignite's peer class loading feature enables us to send a computation closure to...
