A Thorough Overview of the Next Generation in Computing

Poised to follow in the footsteps of the Internet, grid computing is on the verge of becoming more robust and accessible to the public in the near future. Focusing on this novel, yet already powerful, technology, Introduction to Grid Computing explores state-of-the-art grid projects, core grid technologies, and applications of the grid.

 

After comparing the grid with other distributed systems, the book covers two important aspects of a grid system: scheduling of jobs and resource discovery and monitoring in grid. It then discusses existing and emerging security technologies, such as WS-Security and OGSA security, as well as the functions of grid middleware at a conceptual level. The authors also describe famous grid projects, demonstrate the pricing of European options through the use of the Monte Carlo method on grids, and highlight different parallelization possibilities on the grid.

 

Taking a tutorial approach, this concise book provides a complete introduction to the components of the grid architecture and applications of grid computing. It expertly shows how grid computing can be used in various areas, from computational mechanics to risk management in financial institutions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

下一代計算的全面概述

網格計算正處於成為更強大且更易於公眾使用的階段,並有望在不久的將來跟隨互聯網的腳步。《網格計算入門》專注於這種新穎但已經強大的技術,探討最先進的網格項目、核心網格技術以及網格的應用。

在將網格與其他分散系統進行比較之後,本書涵蓋了網格系統的兩個重要方面:作業排程以及網格中的資源發現和監控。然後,它討論了現有和新興的安全技術,如WS-Security和OGSA安全,以及概念層面上的網格中間件的功能。作者還描述了著名的網格項目,通過在網格上使用蒙特卡羅方法展示了歐洲期權的定價,並突出了網格上不同的並行化可能性。

本書以教程的方式提供了對網格架構組件和網格計算應用的完整介紹。它巧妙地展示了網格計算如何在各個領域中應用,從計算力學到金融機構的風險管理。
