Grid Technology and its Application Developments in Perspective

Abstract

Since the last decade, Grid computing has been the prefecture of academic researchers and software vendor companies who have been hooking together individual computers around the world to perform compute-intensive tasks. This emerging technology is deemed as future technology of tomorrow. Currently substantial research is going on the different aspects of the Grid computing technology. In this research paper we have described the research activities carried out on the different aspects of the Grid computing. These research activities is classified the into the three areas of Grid computing .i.e Grid applications, Grid computing tools, Grid Architecture and Models, which provides a comprehensive look of the development carried out to date. The development in these mentioned three areas has brought substantial progress in the field of grid technology. Finally, the research paper has highlighted current developments and future challenges in the field of grid technology.
