    The document summarizes grid computing, which involves federating computer resources from multiple administrative domains to achieve a common goal. It discusses how grid computing works by using middleware to divide programs among thousands of computers. Grids are applied to solve complex problems in fields like protein folding, financial modeling, and climate modeling. The advantages are that grids can solve larger problems faster while making better use of existing hardware. However, grids also have disadvantages like evolving standards and a learning curve.

    INTRODUCTION
    Grid computing is a term referring to the federation of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. Although a grid can be dedicated to a specialized application, it is more common that a single grid will be used for a variety of different purposes.

    OVERVIEW
    Grid computing combines computers from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal, to solve a single task, and may then disappear just as quickly. One of the main strategies of grid computing is to use middleware to divide and apportion pieces of a program among several computers, sometimes up to many thousands. The size of a grid may vary from smallconfined to a network of computer workstations within a corporation for exampleto large, public collaborations across many companies and networks.

    HOW DOES IT WORK?


    Grids use a layer of middleware to communicate with and manipulate hardware and data sets. Grids overcome the obstacles and open the tools of research to distant faculty and students.

    APPLICATIONS
    Grids computing is applied to solve problems such as protein folding, financial modeling, earthquake simulation, and climate/weather modeling. Grids offer a way of using the information technology resources optimally inside an organization. They also provide a means for offering information technology as a utility for commercial and noncommercial clients

    ADVANTAGES
    Can solve larger, more complex problems in a shorter time Easier to collaborate with other organizations Make better use of existing hardware

    DIS-ADVANTAGES
    Grid software and standards are still evolving Learning curve to get started Non-interactive job submission

    CONCLUSION
    Grid in need is a Grid indeed

    Any queries?????
