This document discusses using computational grids for resource-intensive digital humanities projects. It provides two examples of projects that would benefit from using a grid: 1) comparing OCR text to ground truth which requires large amounts of memory, and 2) aligning multiple OCR streams and generating error patterns which is computationally intensive. The document raises questions about preparing code written in Java to run on a grid, whether the programming language matters, how input/output operations and storage work on a grid, and if thread-based programs would be better suited for a grid.
