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 6

BENEFITS OF GRID COMPUTING Improving productivity Promotes operational flexibility To create virtual organisations to share data It gives end s 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 9
GRID VERSUS CONVENTIONAL SUPER COMPUTERS GRID Using network Heterogeneous Geographically dispersed Specialized application Parallel computing
SUPER COMPUTER Using computer bus Costly Difficult to write programs

APPLICATION Financial modeling Earthquake simulation Climate / Weather modeling Using IT resources in an organization NASA’s Information power Grid 11
CONCLUSION Grid computing is used in different fields such as financial,educational research,weather forcasting and so on…It helps in accessing and share IT resourses in an organisation..
