Grid Computing: Technicalities and Overview

Abstract

the last some years there has been a rapid rampant increase in computer processing power, communication, and data storage. Grid is an infrastructure that contains the integrated and collective use of computers, databases, networks and experimental instruments managed and owned by various organizations. Grid computing is a kind of distributed computing whereby a "super and virtual computer" is built of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers, working in concert to perform large tasks. Here paper presents an introduction of Grid computing providing wisdom into the gird components, terms, architecture, Grid Types, Applications of grid computing.
