GRID COMPUTING – AN ALTERNATIVE TO HPC  

Abstract

Grid Computing delivers on the potential in the growth and abundance of network connected systems and bandwidth: computation, collaboration and communication over the Advanced Web. At the heart of Grid Computing is a computing infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive and inexpensive access to computational capabilities. By pooling federated assets into a virtual system, a grid provides a single point of access to powerful distributed resources. Researchers working to solve many of the most difficult scientific problems have long understood the potential of such shared distributed computing systems. Development teams focused on technical products, like semiconductors, are using Grid Computing to achieve higher throughput. Likewise, the business community is beginning to recognize the importance of distributed systems in applications such as data mining and economic modeling. With a grid, networked resources -- desktops, servers, storage, databases, and even scientific instruments -- can be combined to deploy massive computing power wherever and whenever it is needed most. Users can find resources quickly, use them efficiently, and scale them seamlessly. We can ensure grid computing an alternative to HPC
