Q&A
4. “A computational grid is a hardware and software
infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive
and inexpensive access to high-end computational
[1]
capabilities.”
“The problem that underlines the Grid concept is coordinated
resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-
[2]
institutional virtual organizations.”
“Computational grid is the technology that enables resource
virtualization, on-demand provisioning and service (resource)
[3]
sharing between organizations.”
5. A grid is a system that[4]:
1. Coordinates resources that are not subject
to centralized control (…)
2. (…) using standard, open, general-purpose
protocols and interfaces (…)
3. (…) to deliver non-trivial quality of service.
16. Server-side
◦ Communication system;
◦ Transitioner, Feeder and Validator Daemons;
Client-side
◦ Handle WUs and Results to the Grid’s Resource
Broker instead of directly to the project server;
