Term: Node

An InfoGrid Node is a unit of execution (“running process”) of any (distributed) InfoGrid system.

For example, a distributed InfoGrid system may consist of 10 client Nodes (on PCs and mobile devices) and 2 server Nodes (on servers), communicating with each other using XPRISO.

Each Node manages at least one NetMeshBase.
