Heterogeneous distributed system. Coordinated resource sharing and problem sharing in dynamic multi institutional domains (educational institutions, offices, industries) across the world. Collaborative access to these resources and has distributed Job management system. It gives a feeling of Desktop supercomputing. Virtualization.

Resource sharing Secure access Resource use The death of distance Open standard

Centralized scheduling, Fault Tolerance and security.

Transparent Access

It gives transparent access to whatever resources connected.

Only access to the nodes of the Cluster and its attached storage.

Computing

It is High Throughput Computing (HTC)

It is High Performance Computing

DISTRIBUTE D COMPUTING Distributed Computing can be characterized as a computer task that is spread amongst multiple computer within a network.

What is a Virtual Organization?

It is a community of users who work or do research in a particular domain of interest. Example: Physicist , Chemists, Biologists, Computer Scientists, Doctors and others. Within a virtual organization we find personnel and resources working on a common problem and are specialized in a specific domain. Grid is one such environment which has different kinds of Virtual organizations. This enables collaborative computing and interactive computing within the Grid Environment.

To integrate and aggregate affordable (PC , Desktop , Printers) and unaffordable (clusters , supercomputers ,mainframes ,telescope etc) resources. To provide high throughput. To build and harvest collaborative boundaries across various communities in research. To give the user feeling of using a most powerful computer.

In the early 90s the www is created to help the exchange of document b/w particle physicians , collaborating the experiment from all over the world. Scientist were facing another problem i.e. limited computing power. To solve these problem scientist were developing the new term The Grid. As the web allow to share the info. Over the internet so, the grid will allow to share the computing power and resources like databases and s/w.

The user will use s/w interface. After clearing security validation , computer will be able to talk to the grid. The resource broker. The resource broker will clear the information servers to know which h/w and s/w available to process a program at that location. Once the appropriate resources have been located , the broker assigns the job to the computing element where it executes.

Idle resources can be efficiently handled by the use of Grid Computing. Large, complex problems can be solved in a short span of time. Easier to team up with other organizations. Grid environments are modular and they do not fail due do the error that occurs at one particular point. Jobs can be done in parallel thus resulting in faster execution.

Need a fast interconnection between the computer resources. A few applications may need to be altered to take full advantage of the new model. Many groups do not wish to share resources even if it benefits everybody. Grid computing standards and grid software are still in developing state.
