{{Short description|Class of parallel computing applications}}

'''Data-intensive computing''' is a class of [[parallel computing]] applications which use a [[data parallel]] approach to process large volumes of data typically [[terabytes]] or [[petabytes]] in size and typically referred to as [[big data]]. Computing applications that devote most of their execution time to computational requirements are deemed compute-intensive, whereas applications are deemed data-intensive if they require large volumes of data and devote most of their processing time to I[[input/Ooutput]] and manipulation of data.<ref>[http://www.cse.fau.edu/~borko/HandbookofCloudComputing.html Handbook of Cloud Computing], "Data-Intensive Technologies for Cloud Computing," by A.M.
