What is Grid?

 The Grid is super fast internet service.

 10,000 faster than broadband services.
 High-speed computing network project
started 7 years ago
What is Grid?

 Experiments everywhere, producing billions

of bytes of data every day.
It’s not possible for one single institution to
store and analyze all this data, so scientists
have to share computer storage and
processing power around the world at
hundreds of different locations.

This is called Grid computing

What is Grid ?

 The World Wide Web gave us a taste, but the Grid

gives a vision of an ICT (Information and
Communication Technology)enabled world.
 The Grid evolved from the early desire to connect
supercomputers into "metacomputers" that could
be remotely controlled.
 The word "grid" was borrowed from the electricity
grid, to imply that any compatible device could be
plugged in anywhere on the Grid and be
guaranteed a certain level of resources
Introduction
 The Grid would be the next big thing in the
Internet. In fact, it’d be a new technology or a
mass of computer networks that would
increase the Internet speed dramatically,
which allows the download of entire feature
films within a few seconds. Yes , a few
seconds!
Why the grid is much better than the
existing Internet network?
 The existing Internet network has evolved till
the stage having many cables and routing
equipments linked together, and most of
these cables and equipments are originally
designed for telephony networks and
therefore they all lack of the capacity for high
speed data transmissions.
Why Grid is different from existing
internet?
 The Grid is completely different from the
existing Internet, which has been built with
dedicated fibre optic cables and modern
routing centres, and there is no single
outdated component that would cause slow
data transmission.
What happen when grid is available?

 Once the grid has become available for

commercial use, reaching the domestic or
business users, desktop computing will become
obsolete. As everybody will just rely on online
applications, as the Internet speed will be so
extremely fast then you can just store all your
data and work with the online applications and
you will be able to access your applications, data
everywhere once you are hooked up to the
Internet.
Advantages

Many online activities will become possible

such as:
 Holographic video conference.

 Online gaming

 Social networking could become the main

way we communicate.
Best uses for Grid

 The Internet could soon be made obsolete. The

scientists who pioneered it have now built a
lightning-fast replacement capable of
downloading entire feature films within seconds.
 At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a
typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be
able to send the entire Rolling Stones back
catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two
seconds.
 Projects like the grid will bring huge changes in
business and society as well as science.

 “Holographic video conferencing is not that far away.

Online gaming could evolve to include many
thousands of people, and social networking could
become the main way we communicate.

 “The history of the internet shows you cannot predict

its real impacts but we know they will be huge.”
 Summary
 Grid computing has many promises
 Making today’s computing easier by managing resources
better
 Creating an environment for advanced apps of tomorrow
 In order to do this, your applications must be
portable!
 Rethink your problems for the Grid Computer
 Distributed computing, grid threads, etc
 Other forms of parallelism: Task farming, spawning,
migration
 Data access, data mining etc: all much more powerful
