Let's Decode : Grid Computing, In grid computing, which is a kind of parallel computing, big computational jobs are broken down into smaller subtasks that may be carried out concurrently on several computers linked over a network. This network might be the internet, a wide-area network, or even a local area network. The purpose of grid computing is to boost the amount of processing power that is accessible to users, enabling them to take on bigger and trickier computational challenges.

The Development of Grid Computing

Grid computing has its origins in the early days of computing, when academics were looking for methods to let diverse businesses share computer resources. The application of grid computing for scientific research was being investigated in the 1990s via a variety of national and international programs. Grid computing is now widely used in many industries, including banking, engineering, and biology, as a result of the maturing and evolving nature of technology.

The Function of Grid Computing

The foundation of grid computing is the concept of segmenting large computational jobs into smaller, parallel-executable subtasks. Processing power is added to the total effort by each computer in the grid. The work is broken down into smaller subtasks when a user submits a job to the grid, and each subtask is delivered to a separate machine for processing. To get the final result, the output from each computer is then integrated.

Grid computing advantages

Increased processing capacity, better resource usage, and cost savings are just a few of the numerous advantages of employing grid computing. Grid computing allows for the solution of increasingly challenging computational issues by using the combined power of many computers. Additionally, it enables enterprises to pool their computer capabilities, which eliminates the need for costly hardware and software investments from individual firms.


Grid computing applications

High-performance computing and scholarly inquiry

High-performance computing and grid computing are widely employed in science to address challenging challenges. Grid computing, for instance, may be used to simulate nuclear explosion behavior, model the human genome, or examine enormous volumes of data produced by particle accelerators.

Data analytics and business intelligence

The corporate sector may employ grid computing to instantly handle and analyze huge volumes of data. A firm may, for instance, employ grid computing to examine sales data, consumer behavior, or market trends in order to make wise business choices. Massive volumes of patient data are being stored and analyzed in the healthcare sector with the help of healthcare grid computing. This may be used to further medical research, provide individualized medication, or even support the early identification and control of disease outbreaks.

Forecasting the weather

Massive quantities of data and processing power are needed for weather forecasting in order to evaluate and simulate weather patterns. To analyse the massive volumes of data produced in real-time by weather sensors and satellites and improve weather forecasts, grid computing may be employed.

Information and entertainment

Large-scale processing and rendering of digital material, including games, movies, and special effects, may be done with grid computing in the media and entertainment sector. Additionally, it may be used to organize and store data for digital rights management (DRM).

Administration and Defense

Governmental and military institutions may employ grid computing to handle and analyze massive volumes of data, including satellite imagery, to assist operations and decision-making.

Grid computing examples

There are several instances of grid computing in use, such as the TeraGrid project of the National Science Foundation, the World Community Grid, and the European Grid Initiative. A distributed computing network called the World Community Grid allows individuals to contribute their idle computer resources to various scientific research initiatives. Access to computer resources for scientific research and business is made possible via the European Grid Initiative, a significant grid computing effort. TeraGrid, an initiative of the National Science Foundation, gives researchers access to some of the biggest and fastest supercomputers in the world.

पुल जो छोड़ गया हमारा साथ, कानपुर की पहचान

By Ankit Awasthi
  पिछले दिनों कानपुर का 150 साल पुराना गंगापुल टूट गया। इस पुल पर से कई बार गुजरे हैं। अनेक यादें जुड़ी हैं। पुल गिरने की खबर मिलने पर देखने गए पुल। शहर होते हुए घर से दूरी 15 किलोमीटर। गंगाबैराज की तरफ़ से जाते तो दूरी 23 किलोमीटर दिखा रहा था। समय लगभग बराबर। शहर होते हुए गए। जहां से पुल शुरू होता है वहीं पर गाड़ी सड़क किनारे ही खड़ी कर दी। रेती में पुल के नीचे -नीचे चलते हुए उस हिस्से की तरफ़ गए जो हिस्सा टूटा था।  पुल का टूटा हुआ हिस्सा नदी के पानी में धराशायी सा लेटा  था। क्या पता वह गाना भी गा रहा हो -'कर चले हम फ़िदा जान-ओ-तन साथियों, अब तुम्हारे हवाले ये जगह साथियों।' पुल के आसपास पक्षी तेज आवाज़ में चहचहाते हुए शायद पुल के बारे में ही चर्चा कर रहे थे। एक दूधिया अपने दूध के कनस्तर पानी में धोकर रेती में औंधाए रखकर गंगा स्नान कर रहा था। स्नान करके नदी से निकलते हुए एक बुजुर्ग को नदी किनारे निपटते देखकर भुनभुनाते हुए कहने लगा -' यह भी नही कि गंगाजी से ज़रा दूर होकर निपटें। एकदम किनारे ही गंदगी करने बैठ गए।' उसके भुनभुनाने के अन्दाज़ से लग रहा था कि उसकी मंशा केवल ख...
