A REVIEW OF GRID COMPUTING

Abstract

Grid computing is a combination of interconnected resources which can be spread all over the world having higher computing capabilities. The benefit of grid computing includes higher computation and memory capacity because of grid resources spread all over the world. The grid computing is managed by intra-grid scope which refers to the methodologies and the algorithms used for managing the grid network related issues such as task scheduling, resource balancing and security of the network. The advantages of grid computing include access to inaccessible resources, resource utilization and balancing, reliability, and parallel computing and scalability. The limitations of the grid computing include application in limited fields and suitability with applications running in batch mode only based on parallel processing
