Abstract

The rapid growth of the Internet, along with the availability of powerful computers and high-speed networks as low-cost commodity components, is changing the way people do computing and manage information. These new technologies have enabled the utilization of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources, including computers, storage systems, data sources, and special devices, as a unified resource. This new paradigm is popularly termed “grid” computing. The federation of highly distributed heterogeneous resources to deliver high-performance computational services is a key feature of grid computing. Computer networks form the basis for resource sharing across geographically distributed sites and many grid applications require the underlying networks guarantee certain levels of delay performance.
