Grig Computing
Grid is a system for management and aggregation of autonomous, heterogeneous computational and storage resources across geographical boundaries. Grid technologies have enabled the development of new applications that require close and potentially sophisticated interaction and data sharing between resources that may belong to different organizations. As network speeds grow, it is possible to imagine global Grids that contain multiple heterogeneous resources, and allow users to submit jobs from anywhere in the world to these Grids. Effective scheduling of jobs in these Grids is complicated by a number of factors. These factors include (1) geographical distances which means that Grid resources may be connected by slow WANs, (2) different administrative domains with different local policies, and (3) Grid dynamism which means that some resources can fail at any time without advance notice.
