Does grid computing continue when the user is not logged in - for instance, on an educational system, where students must log in, when the log out, does the cpu continue the cloud computing? Or in another instance, if I use my home computer for something like superdonate.com, does the processor still go if I log out?

It depends on the client and how it is set up. But I think most clients continue to work when you log off.
The whole purpose is to use the computer when it is idle after all.

Your question is very generic. Technically, if you have delegation of credential, yes. In Globus you delegate authentication credential to a third part, and it will continue acting on your behalf even if you "log out".
