GRID COMPUTING
• The Server Software breaks Data, and Application Ptrogram Codes into chunks that are then parcelled out to the Grid Machines.
• The Client Machines can perform their traditional tasks while running Applications in the background. THE ADVANTAGES OF GRID MACHINE
• Cost saving,
• Speed of Computation
• Agility. Example: Royal Dutch/ Shell Group uses a scalable Grid Computing Platform that improves the accuracy and speed of its Scientific Modelling Applications to find the best oil reserves. The Grid Platform links 1024 IBM Servers running under Linux, in effect creating one of the largest commercial Linux Supercomputers in the world.
