What Is Grid Computing?
Collection of computing resources that perform tasks
A large system that provides a single point of access to powerful distributed resources
Define the goal in more detail

What is “N1 Grid Engine 6” software?
Sun’s Resource management software
Accepts jobs submitted by usersUses resource management policies
to schedule jobs to be run on appropriate
Users can submit millions of jobs at a time without concern

How grid works? (grid as bank)
How grid works? (grid as bank)
On entering the bank: customers declares their name, their
affiliations their service needs Record entering time. Bank would serve the following
customers: Customers whose needs match suitable
and immediately available resources Customers whose requirements have the
highest priority Customers who were waiting in the lobby
for the longest time

One least-loaded and most-suitable bank employee helps several customers.
Bank manager, define service policies: Provide preferential service to commercial
customers Make sure a certain customer group is
served well Customers get a timely response Prefer a certain customer on direct
demand of a bank executive

Jobs and QueuesJobs and Queues
Jobs correspond to bank customers.
Jobs wait in a computer holding area instead of a lobby. queues, which provide services for jobs, correspond to bank employees.
