parallel computing technology. Trends in commercial and scientific applications are merging as commercial applications perform more sophisticated computations and scientific applications become more data intensive. Today‚ a lot of parallel programming languages and compilers‚ based on dependencies detected in source code‚ are able to automatically split a program into multiple processes and/or threads to be executed concurrently on the available processors from a parallel system. Parallel computing is

Abstract– Cloud Computing has become another buzzword after Web 2.0. However‚ there are dozens of different definitions for Cloud Computing and there seems to be no consensus on what a Cloud is. On the other hand‚ Cloud Computing is not a completely new concept; it has intricate connection to the relatively new but thirteen-year established Grid Computing paradigm‚ and other relevant technologies such as utility computing‚ cluster computing‚ and distributed systems in general. This

Green Computing & Green IT What is Green Computing or Green IT? Bill Gates predicted many years ago of a PC in every home. He was widely considered to be simply promoting an unlikely scenario with the aim of boosting Microsoft’s profits. However‚ how right he truly was. Not just at home but also virtually every commercial organisation of any size is heavily reliant upon IT. At home there is little we can do regarding our use of IT‚ other than not leaving our PC’s switched on uneccessarily

Basics of Green Computing Introduction A green computer or green IT system is one where the entire process from design‚ manufacture‚ use‚ and disposal involves as little environmental impact as possible. In other words‚ a green initiative is taken in consideration of all facets of a computer’s life‚ from design to disposal. In the design aspect‚ a green computer is created to perform without a negative environmental impact. Such design includes everything from materials and components to how the

Grid Designing Abstract: In an increasing number of scientific disciplines‚ large data collections are emerging as important community resources. Grid computing has emerged as an important new field‚ distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing‚ innovative applications‚ and‚ in some cases‚ high performance orientation. The foundation of a grid solution design is typically built upon an existing infrastructure investment. However‚ a grid
