Practical Applications in Grid Computing

Abstract:- Grid computing is an emerging concept which is driving the computing industry today. With the advent of a grid, computing will become a utility on tap just like water or power. Users in fields like business process re-engineering, accounting, finance and low cost non applied research, are ready to take advantage of grid computing. However going by the feedback of sample respondents, if grid computing is to be widely accepted, it still needs to overcome certain roadblocks both at technical level like security issues and at conceptual level like sharing of systems, considered personal till now. A feasibility study of installing a grid in a small community with wide bandwidth connectivity shows it to be a feasible and useful proposition.
