Grid Computing

Grid computing is applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same time. It uses open standards and protocols to access applications, data, processing power, storage and other computing resources over the internet. The term originated in the 1990s by pioneers like Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman. Grids use middleware for communication between heterogeneous systems and promote sharing of resources to create virtual organizations. While improving productivity and flexibility, grids also face challenges like ensuring data confidentiality and building complex middleware.

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

GRID VERSUS CONVENTIONAL
SUPER COMPUTERS
GRID SUPER COMPUTER

Using network Using computer bus


Heterogeneous Costly
Geographically Difficult to write
dispersed programs
Specialized
application
Parallel computing
10
APPLICATION

Financial modeling

Earthquake simulation

Climate / Weather modeling

Using IT resources in an organization

NASAs Information power Grid

11
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..
