Functions of grid computing. The grid computing enables the integration of services and resources across Distributed 分布式的 Heterogeneous 多样的 Dynamic 动态的 virtual organizations, whether within a single enterprise or extending to external resource-sharing and service-provider relationships. Grid integrates a wide variety of geographically distributed resources The Grid Metaphor A grid Virtual organisation negotiates with sites to agree access to resources Distributed services enable the grid 资源供应 Provisioning of Resources. Grid computing consists of a family of technologies for dynamically provisioning computing power from a pool of resources. The resource pool can include: computing cycles file and data storage Caching network bandwidth databases and data warehouses application software 资源的多样性 Diversity of resources. The resource pool can be geographically dispersed, and individual resources can vary widely in Capability Capacity, and Availability Several grid-aware applications can share the resource pool. 供应的内容 Contents of the provisioning: Provisioning includes methods and mechanisms for Locating Authorizing Assembling Scheduling Releasing, and Accounting for resources and their usage. 资源供应的动态性: Resource provisioning is dynamic todays configuration will almost certainly not be the same as tomorrows configuration. 网格中间件的作用: Grid middleware is the software glue that binds applications to resources. Multi-dimension of Grid Computing 网格种类 Grid Types. First dimension describes grid types: data grid, computational grid 网格的地理分布 Geographic grid. Second dimension describes a grids geographic reach: campus grid, statewide grid, and global grid. 资源获得. How to get resources. Third dimension reflects how to obtain these resources. A service provider owns dedicated grid resources and strictly monitor and control their use, e.g., utility grid. 网格成员. Grid membership.Fourth dimension reflects membershi
