OF
GRID
Grid computing is emerging as a viable technology that businesses can use to wring more profits and productivity out of IT resources -- and it's going to be up to you developers and administrators to understand Grid computing and put it to work. It's really more about bringing a problem to the computer (or Grid) and getting a solution to that problem. Grid computing is flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic
dynamically at runtime. These systems can be distributed across the globe; they're heterogeneous (some PCs, some servers, maybe mainframes and
supercomputers); somewhat autonomous (a Grid can potentially access resources in different organizations). Although Grid computing is
collections of individuals, institutions, and resources. Grid computing enables the virtualization of distributed computing resources such as processing, network bandwidth, and storage capacity to create a single system image, granting users and applications seamless access to vast IT capabilities. Just as an Internet user views a unified instance of content via the World Wide Web, a Grid user essentially sees a single, large, virtual computer.
firmly ensconced in the realm of academic and research activities, more and more companies are starting to turn to it for solving hard-nosed, real-world problems.

storage capacity, devices for input and output, services, whole applications, and more abstract elements like licenses and certificates. For example, to solve a computeintensive problem, the problem is split into multiple tasks that are distributed
operating systems, and software versions. Some of the target systems can be clusters of nodes themselves or high performance servers. and other resources. Owners of the
TYPES OF GRID:
The three primary types of grids and are summarized below:
desktop machines are usually given control over when their resources are available to participate in the grid. Data Grid A data grid is responsible for housing and providing access to data across multiple organizations. Users are not concerned with where this data is located as long as they have access to the data.
Computational Grid
A computational grid is focused on setting aside resources specifically for computing power. In this type of grid, most of the machines are highperformance servers.
Scavenging grid A scavenging grid is most commonly used with large numbers of desktop machines. Machines are
We are using the Scavenging Grid for our implementation as large numbers of desktop machines are used in our Grid and later planning to extend it by using both Scavenging and data Grid. Figure1 gives an idea about the Grid that we have proposed.
While accessing Internet most of us might have faced the burden of multiple downloading and in particular with downloading huge files i.e., there can be a total abrupt system failure while a heavy task is assigned to the system. The system may hang up and may be rebooted while some
percentage of downloading might have been completed. This rebooting of the system leads to download of the file once again from the beginning, which is one of the major problems everyone is facing today. Let us consider N numbers of files of different sizes (in order of several MBs) are being downloaded on a single system (a PC). This will take approximately some minutes or even some hours to download it by using an Internet connection of normal speed with a single CPU. This is one of the tedious tasks for the user to download
multiple files at the same time. Our Grid plays a major role here.
distributed evenly to all the systems in the Network by using our Grid. For example we have taken into account of a small LAN that consists of around 20 systems out of which 10 systems are idle and 5 systems are using less amount of CPU(for our

consideration) and their CPU cycles are wasted. And our work begins here, as we are going to efficiently utilize those wasted CPU cycles into working cycles.

The file size of each file is obtained and is stored in the priority Queue based on maximum size as highest priority. Now the highest priority file is matched with the highest priority system in the Network. The files get evenly distributed to their matched idle systems. The downloading gets
