GRID COMPUTING
What is Grid Computing?
• Grid Computing is a technique in which the idle systems in
the Network and their “ wasted “ CPU cycles can be efficiently
used by uniting pools of servers, storage systems and networks
into a single large virtual system for resource sharing
dynamically at runtime.
Why is Grid Computing done?
By using the Grid these large numbers of files are distributed evenly to all the systems in the Network.
Example
• a small LAN that consists of around 20 systems out of which 10
systems are idle and 5 systems are using less amount of
CPU(for our consideration) and their CPU cycles are wasted.
And the work begins here, as we are going to efficiently utilize
those “wasted CPU cycles” into “working cycles”.
The following are the major business areas for grid computing
• Life sciences – analyze biological and chemical information.
• Financial services- for complex financial models.
• Higher education – data and computation-intensive research.
• Engineering services – collaborative design and data-
intensive testing.
• Government – collaboration and agility in both civil and
military departments
CONCLUSION
• Grid computing was once said to be fading out but due to the
technological convergence it is blooming once again.
• By implementing the Grid it is very easy to download multiple files very
fast
• No need to worry about the security as they are authenticated at each
and every step
