Data-intensive computing this approach is considered suitable for data-intensive computing and problems which are “embarrassingly parallel”, i.e. where it is relatively easy to separate the problem into a number of parallel tasks and there is no dependency or communication required between the tasks other than overall management of the tasks. These types of data processing problems are inherently adaptable to various forms of distributed computing including clusters, data grids, and cloud computing. Several common characteristics of data-intensive computing systems distinguish them from other forms of computing: A variety of system architectures have been implemented for data-intensive computing and large-scale data analysis applications
Insurance Data Processing computer-based data processing. In 1961, the name of the corporation was changed to Insurance Data Processing, Incorporated. In 1967, IDP was acquired by Marsh & McLennan, Inc. (Guy Carpenter & Co., Inc.), and in 1985 it became a part of the Carlino Financial Group.
