دانلود کتاب Grid Computing: Towards a Global Interconnected Infrastructure

Grid computing provides a mechanism for integrating, coordinating, and sharing heterogeneous computer resources. This continually evolving field now aims to completely disaggregate current computer platforms and distribute them across a network as resources that can be called into action by any eligible user or machine at any time.This accessible and broad-ranging text/reference presents valuable research and results from many of the major projects involved in the emerging global grid infrastructure. With a particular focus on the practical advantages and applications of grid computing – including real case studies – the book provides an in-depth study of grid technology for a wide range of different needs.Topics and features:Presents contributions from an international selection of experts in the fieldProvides summarizing abstracts and conclusions for each chapterExamines a remote instrumentation infrastructure, and a methodology to support e-science applications on e-infrastructuresDescribes the GEMS storage system, and pipeline workflows for optimizing end-to-end performance in wide-area networksInvestigates semantic grid system architecture, social grid agents, and monitoring platforms designed for large-scale distributed systemsExplores job control using service-level agreementsIntroduces the Composable Services Architecture for dynamic service provisioning, and the semantically driven communication middleware platform, PhoenixDiscusses the PhyloGrid application, and a numerical simulation performed using grid computingThe deep insights that can be gleaned from the text make it a highly useful tool for researchers and professionals alike. Graduate students will also benefit from the extensive analysis on currently available grid systems.
