Abstract –
In grid computing, the total work load is distributed
among many computers which are linked together through some
kind of local or global network topology. There is no restriction
of work it could be of any type like mathematical calculations or
processor performing different tasks. Also grid computing do not
bounds the computers linked together and they could be used
also as in normal conditions they are being used A
supercomputer could be created by linking different computers
through grid computing. This research paper presents a
comprehensive survey to grid computing technology and clarifies
its different aspects in the domain of high speed huge data
volume based computing. The research paper also investigates
emerging trends in the modern grid computing technology. Grid
computing is one the stat of the art technologies being used for
high speed computing.
I. INTRODUCTION TO GRID COMPUTING
Nearly all the technologies being used today is changing
swiftly as the use of Internet is increasing all over the world
the networks also behave similarly as the tools used are losing
their cost day-by-day. To come about and to have great
command on those changes surely new technologies having
greater flexibility are required. But for the gain of those new
technologies there is a lot of work to do because there are
some features like cost, reusability, speed and quality that
have great impact on them. So the ideas like super computer,
which is made by connecting several computers through a
computer bus having fast speed, are gaining fame in which
several machines work together by linking through a network
for a common task. This mechanism is known as Grid
computing and is expected to play an important role in the
field of computing in future.
A. Grid Computing Networks
Grid computing instead of relaying on high performance
focuses on sharing networks. The complexity of grid
computing is more then normal distributed computing. Normal
distributed computing has an environment in which machines
are distributed and managed individually and separately.
Those machines rely on their own resources like own
processing and memory. While the grid computing tries to
make use of its linked machines work for same task. Grid
computing creates a pond of computing resources.
B. Origin Of Grid Computing
One can’t say about the start of basics of grid computing.
There are different thoughts about the beginning of grid
computing. It could be more right to say that the keyword Grid
computing came into being by the start of 1990 decade due to
the work of two people Carl Kesselmen’s and Ian Foster’s.
They gave the main theme of grid computing. The Grid
computing gained real fame in 2007. Electricity is an example
of a kind of tool for which grid computing was been
developed.
The software can be used to connect various databases into
networking which is the present form of grid computing. Well
one could say that some years ago the effort was made to
establish a process that would allow the computers to share in
the situation. That made the grid computing to come into
world. In 1990’s European countries and USA gave aid for the
development of grid computing.
