Introduction to Grid Computing

What is a Grid?

• Many definitions exist in the literature:

• “A computational grid is a hardware and software infrastructure


that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive (large
infrastructure), and inexpensive access to high-end computational
facilities”
• Foster and Kesselman, 1998
3-point checklist (Foster 2002)
1. Coordinates/Access of resources not subject to
centralized control

2. Uses standard, open, general-purpose protocols


and interfaces

3. Deliver non-trivial Qualities of Service (QOS)


• e.g., response time, throughput, availability,
security
Grid Architecture

Autonomous, globally distributed computers/clusters

Introduction to Cloud Computing
What is Cloud Computing?
• Cloud Computing is a general-term used to describe a new
class of network-based computing that takes place over the
Internet:

– a collection/group of integrated and networked hardware,


software and Internet infrastructure (called a platform).

– Using the Internet for communication and transport

• Hides the complexity and details of the underlying


infrastructure
What is Cloud Computing?
• On demand services, that are always ON,
Anywhere, Anytime and Any place.

• Pay for use and as needed, elastic:


– scale up and down in capacity and functionalities

• Shared pool of configurable computing resources

• On-demand network access


Cloud Summary

• A number of characteristics:
– Remotely hosted: Services or data are hosted on remote
infrastructure

– Accessibility: Services or data are available from anywhere

– Commodified: The result is a utility computing model


similar traditional utilities, like gas and electricity - you pay
for what you would want!
