GRID COMPUTING - Optimal Grid…The next wave of the Internet
Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems using large numbers of computers arranged as clustersembedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure. Grid computing’s focus on the ability to support computation across administrative domains sets it apart from traditional distributed computing . Grid computing is applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same time. Grids will work in commercial computing environments today. Based upon lack of knowledge about the convergence of grids, Web services, and self-management software, many commercial enterprises are overlooking the benefits that can be derived from grid computing. Grid computing is an extension of distributive cluster computing. Optimal Grid is an attempt to simplify the creation and management of connected parallel applications on the grid.Here we focus on the basics of grid computing and places information about Grid computing into an intuitive framework, tying the pieces together, and highlighting what's important.
