GRID COMPUTING

2
 INTRODUCTION
Grid computing is applying the resources of many
computers in a network to a single problem at the
same time.

Distributed and Parallel processing

Grids are not required to have same os or h/w

Cost effective use of computer resourses

Peer-to-peer computing
3
 DEFINITION

Grid Computing is the ability to using a set

of open standards and protocols,to gain
access to applications and data,
processing power,storage capacity and a
vast array of other computing resources
over the internet.

4
 HISTORY

The term grid computing is originated in

the early 1990s

Fathers of the Grid :

Ian Foster
Carl Kesselman
Steve Tuecke

5
 WORKING

Grid uses a middleware for communication

Based on open set of standards and

protocols like OGSA (open grid services
architecture).

Grids are designed to be transparent

BENEFITS OF GRID COMPUTING

Improving productivity

Promotes operational flexibility

To create virtual organisations to share data

It gives end users uninhibited access to

computing data and storage.

8
 DISADVANTAGES

calculations might not be entirely

trustworthy.

Data must be kept confidential

Complexity in building middleware

structures

 APPLICATION

Financial modeling

Earthquake simulation

Climate / Weather modeling

Using IT resources in an organization

NASAs Information power Grid

 CONCLUSION

Grid computing is used in different fields

such as financial,educational
research,weather forcasting and so onIt
helps in accessing and share IT resourses
in an organisation..
