            Abstract : 
Desktop Grid has recently received the strong attraction for executing high throughput applications as CPU, storage and network capacities improve and become cheaper. Desktop Grid is different from Grid in many respects, but there is no general survey or taxonomy for desktop Grid. Therefore, we propose a new comprehensive taxonomy and survey of desktop Grid in order to characterize and categorize desktop Grid.
