What is grid computing?
Grid computing is…
A distributed computing system
Where a group of computers are connected
To create and work as one large virtual computing power, storage, database, application, and service
How Grid Computing Works
Grid computing works on the principle on pooled resources.
It joins together many individual computers, creating a large virtual system with massive computational power.
Middleware
BRAIN behind computational grid.
It allows different computers to run a process across networks.
Middleware is the workhorse of grid computer system.
It acts like “agents” or “brokers”.
Conclusion…
Grid computing is like “Reinventing the wheel.”
Grid computing hardware improves by a factor of 100 every 10 years enough to handle previously impossible IT solutions.
