expert subject date March 2011 A gridnetwork is a kind of computer network consisting of a number of computer systems connected in a grid topology. In a regular grid topology, each node in the network is connected with two neighbors along one or more dimension s. If the network is one dimensional, and the chain of nodes is connected to form a circular loop, the resulting topology is known as a ring. Network systems such as Fiber distributed data interface FDDI use two counter rotating token passing rings to achieve high reliability and performance. In general, when an n dimensional gridnetwork is connected circularly in more than one dimension, the resulting network topology is a torus , and the network is called toroidal . When the number of nodes along each dimension of a toroidal network is 2, the resulting network is called a hypercube . A parallel computing cluster or multi core processor is often connected in regular interconnection network such as a de Bruijn graph , ref http www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk bitstream 1842 860 1 Spadavecchia thesis.pdf A Network based Asynchronous Architecture for Cryptographic Devices by Ljiljana Spadavecchia 2005. section 5.6.1.2 De Bruijn graphs , and section 5.6.2.2 Randomised routing in de Bruijn graphs . ref a hypercube graph , a hypertree network , a fat tree network, a torus , or cube connected cycles .

A grid code is a technical specification which defines the parameters an facility connected to a public electric network has to meet to ensure safe, secure and economic proper functionning of the electric system. The facility can be an electricity generation electricity generating plant , a consumer, or another network. The grid code is specified by an authority responsible for the system integrity and network operation. Its elaboration usually implicates network operators distribution and or tranmission operators , representative of users and to, an extent varying between countries, the regulating body. Independent power producers All generators including Independent power producer s like photovoltaic power station s or wind farm s have to comply with the grid code.
