Scientific Flemming is working in the field of atomic physics, trying to understand the radiation of elementary particles. You have to measure data in almost 200 thousand channels. Dr. Galvin is working on modeling atmospheric turbulence trying to understand the phenomenon of global warming. Both these scientists generate more than 10 million gigabytes of data each year - which is equivalent to the storage capacity of 20 million CDs and would require more than 70000 today faster PC processors to analyze everything. Computing power have to manage will be several peta bytes of data! I.e. that they need additional power for his work of research at an affordable cost. How to get more power? Is there a way out? The answer is the power grid of the team (CPG) in analogy with the electric power grid.
The departure:
There are nearly 750 million PCs in the world. On average each PC uses 10% of the time. Remaining time all teams are idling. It's a fact under the use of the available energy. Suppose that we create an environment where we can group all the teams in the world and create wide area parallel and computing distributed with required network protocols. Such infrastructure called 'team Power Grid' (CPG) will allow sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically included distributed computational resources information storage systems, sources of data, etc., owned by different organizations to solve problems of intensive resources on a large scale by researchers in science, engineering and commerce.
What is team of electrical energy?
Grid computing is a scale of large networks of methodology of distributed computing and virtualization of data resources such as processing, storage capacity and network bandwidth. CPG gives its users transparent access to huge capabilities of it as if you are working with a virtual team. Suppose that net we work one lakh PCs, it will give CPU power 200 years per day. This technology will influence in the form of research and scientific processing, engineering, trade and many other disciplines.
Brief history:
In the 1980s, two teams one could be linked through 'Work of internet protocol'. In the 1990s, the hyper text Protocol came into existence. WWW (World Wide Web) exploded. In 1995, introduced the concept of informatization in network by Foster, Kesselman and Stevan Tuecke, widely regarded as the father of the informatization in network. It continued to develop this concept and for the first time, instrumental in the integration of peer to peer computing and web services to provide access transparent to the power of the remote team of mammoth. Practically, its protocols provide any team the ability to peep in the cyber space regardless of their location and resources from any corner and corner and use them for any application power hungry. With completion of CPG, organizations can optimize computing and data resources and them pool and share them with caution with due to commercial viability.
What is the challenge of CPG?
We know that the resources which will be made in the grid are geographically distributed in multiple administrative domains with variable availability, heterogeneity, diversity of use, cost variable, varying the adaptability, etc.. Management of the resources of those vast and variables and programming purpose feasible cost is a complex task. Basically CPG involves three parties collaboration namely, resources customers and distributors of resource owners and can join hands based on the work of viable economic framework with certain disadvantages. Each party has to work within a working model of demand supply for best results of win - win.
The future:
This technology of the 21st century is going to alter the way in which we live. Several excellent CPG is already in operation in the world. An example is the national teragrid us Foundation established at a cost of US $88 m has a power of 21 tfo/s. several such networks will change the way of working of the hospitals, the knowledge resources in a manner used, the form of educational institutions and so on combined with availability of access from anywhere to everywhere. The implementation of CPGs is unlimited. Even situations such as Bhopal chemical spill can be handled in the form much better through the CPG by instant exchange of vital information, such as vehicular traffic, the direction of the wind, the availability of hospitals and security, etc., which is outside the scope of the current internet.
Future research in any branch of science, engineering or trade will be in virtual laboratories in which researchers work in collaboration regardless of their physical location, as well as the location of resources at a cost much less research. Already heavyweights such as IBM, Microsoft and Sun Micro are in fray establish of the GPC for various applications. So with CPG evolving into multi billion global industry will transform for the better, affecting all aspects of human life.
