Grid computing is the collection of computing resources from multiple locations to achieve a common goal. The grid can be considered as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads involving a large number of files. Grid computing distinguishes itself from conventional high-performance computing systems, such as cluster computing, in which grid computers have each node configured to perform a different task / application. Grid computers also tend to be more heterogeneous and geographically dispersed (therefore not physically coupled) than cluster computers. Although a single grid can be dedicated to a particular application, a grid is commonly used for a variety of purposes. Networks are often built with general-purpose grid middleware software libraries. The sizes of the grid can be quite large.
Networks are a form of distributed computing whereby a "super virtual computer" is composed of many networked computers that act together to perform large tasks. For some applications, distributed or grid computing can be considered as a special type of parallel computing that relies on complete computers (with CPUs, storage, power supplies, network interfaces, etc.) connected to a computer network (private or public ) By A conventional network interface, such as Ethernet. This contrasts with the traditional notion of a supercomputer, which has many processors connected by a local high-speed bus.
Grid computing combines computers from multiple administrative domains to achieve a common goal, to solve a single task, and then can disappear with the same speed. The size of a grid can range from small confined to a network of computer workstations within a corporation, for example, to large public collaborations in many companies and networks. "The notion of a confined grid may also be referred to as intra-node cooperation, whereas the notion of a larger and wider grid may refer to inter-node cooperation."
Grids are a form of distributed computing in which a "super virtual computer" is composed of many networked computers acting together to perform very large tasks. This technology has been applied to scientific, mathematical and academic problems of computer science through voluntary computing, and is used in commercial enterprises for applications as diverse as drug discovery, economic forecasting, seismic analysis, commerce and Web services.
Coordination of applications in Grids can be a complex task, especially when coordinating the flow of information through distributed computing resources. Grid workflow systems have been developed as a specialized form of a workflow management system specifically designed to compose and execute a series of data or data manipulation steps, or a workflow, in the Grid context.
