Grid computing ties thousands of computers together in powerful, self-managing networks.

Plenty of big tech firms are harnessing that power for clients.

Greg Astfalk, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s top technology officer, says the Palo Alto, Calif.-based hardware maker is making a big commitment to the grid.

HP says grid computing grew out of a concept called "utility computing," pioneered in the late 1980s by HP Laboratories.

The concept focuses on computers sharing data and working together.

HP is focusing on potential commercial users of grid computing, including the financial, manufacturing, retail and energy sectors.
