Explain the Grid Computing System?

Grid computing is a processor architecture that combines computer resources from various domains to reach the main objective. in grid computing the computers on the network can work on a task together does functioning as a supercomputer.

typically a grid works on various tasks within a network but it also capable of working on specialized applications it is designed to solve problems that are too big for a supercomputer.

the architecture of the grid computing system is shown in the following diagram.

• Fabric layer:-  this layer is the lowest layer which provides the interfaces to the local resources at a specific site it will provide functions for querying the state and capability of resources along with the functions for actual resource management.

• connectivity layer:- this layer consist of communication protocols for supporting grid transactions. communication protocols enable the exchange of data between the fabric layer resources. authentication protocols build on a communication service to provide the cryptographical secure mechanism.

• resource layer is responsible for managing a single resource it uses of functions provided by the connectivity layer and calls directly the interface made available by the fabric layer. 

• collective layer:- it deals with having access to multiple resources and typically consists of a services and resources discovery allocation and scheduling of tasks onto multiple resources.

•  Application layer:- it consists of an application that operates within a virtual organization and which makes use of a grid computing environment.
