A REVIEW OF GRID TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES IN

Grid technology emerged from the need for huge computational power and data storage capabilities for a range of applications such as high energy physics. The main objective of the Grid project is to combine the computation power of distributed resources such as computers, networks, databases and scientific instruments, across research centers over the country or even the globe. In such an arrangement, individual users can reach and share the desired resources from any point in the system. This system allows the researchers to share their experience and to process their data in a very short time. In this paper along with the basics of the Grid technology, the present infrastructure and possible applications in Turkey, especially in high energy physics, as in Atlas experiment, are investigated. Also future possibilities are discussed in this context
