The grid computing is the type of processor architecture which basically combine all the resources of the computer system from the various type of domain for reaching the main goal. In the the grid computing all the computer perform all the task together in the network.

The main difference between the beowulf cluster and the grid computing is that the cluster is the homogeneous on the other hand the grid is heterogeneous. The grid computing can run the different types of operating system and cluster computers include similar type of operating system and hardware.

The beowulf cluster is the type of the computer cluster that are easily identical in the local area network. It basically allow the programs to be installed in the system.

Blade computing is the type of server blade in the cloud computing technology that basically refers to the high density server in the networking system. It is the compact device which is used to manage the data in the computer system.
