INTRODUCTION secure discovery, access to, and interactions among resources, services, and applications. This potential for seamless HE growth of the Internet, along with the availability of aggregation, integration, and interactions has also made it powerful computers and high-speed networks as low-cost T possible for scientists and engineers to conceive a new commodity components, is changing the way scientists and generation of applications that enable realistic investigation of engineers do computing, and is also changing how society in complex scientific and engineering problems. general manages information and information services. These This current vision of Grid computing certainly did not new technologies have enabled the clustering of a wide happen overnight. In what follows, we trace the evolution of variety of geographically distributed resources, such as Grid computing from its roots in parallel and distributed supercomputers, storage systems, data sources, instruments, computing to its current state and emerging trends and visions. and special devices and services, which can then be used as a unified resource. Furthermore, they have enabled seamless A. The Origins of the Grid access to and interaction among these distributed resources, While the concept of a “computing utility” providing services, applications, and data. The new paradigm that has “continuous operation analogous to power and telephone” can evolved is popularly termed as “Grid” computing.

Besides just homogeneous sets of exponential advances in computing, communication, and machines, it was also possible to use heterogeneous sets of storage technologies, Grid computing is rapidly emerging as machines.

  • Distributed Algorithms with Theoretic Scalability Analysis of Radial and Looped Load flows for Power Distribution Systems
    Electric Power Systems Research 65 (2003) 169Á/177 www.elsevier.com/locate/epsr Distributed algorithms with theoretic scalability analysis of radial and looped load flows for power distribution systems Fangxing Li *, Robert P. Broadwater ECE Department Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24060, USA Received 15 April 2002; received in revised form 14 December 2002; accepted 16 December 2002 Abstract This paper presents distributed algorithms for both radial and looped load flows for unbalanced, multi-phase power distribution systems. The distributed algorithms are developed from tree-based sequential algorithms. Formulas of scalability for the distributed algorithms are presented. It is shown that computation time dominates communication time in the distributed computing model. This provides benefits to real-time load flow calculations, network reconfigurations, and optimization studies that rely on load flow calculations. Also, test results match the predictions of derived formulas. This shows the formulas can be used to predict the computation time when additional processors are involved. # 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

The previously proposed approaches for collecting such information completely depend on the system's architecture. In the server-oriented architecture, servers assume the main role of collecting comprehensive information from the peers and the system. Next, based on the information about the features of the basic activities and the system, an exact description of the peers' status is produced. Accurate decisions are then made using this description. However, the amount of information gathered in this architecture is too large, and it requires massive processing. On the other hand, updating the information takes time, causing delays and undermining the validity of the information. In addition, due to the limitations imposed by the servers, such architecture is not scalable and dynamic enough.

  • Taxonomy of Flynn (1966)
    Taxonomy of Flynn (1966). To describe these non-von Neumann or parallel architectures, a generally accepted taxonomy is that of Flynn (1966). The classification is based on the notion of two streams of information flow to a processor: instructions and data. These two streams can be either single or multiple, giving four classes of machines: 1. Single instruction single data (SISD) 2. Single instruction multiple data (SIMD) 3. Multiple instruction single data (MISD) 4. Multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) Table 5.4 shows the four primary classes and some of the architectures that fit in those classes. Most of these architectures will be briefly discussed. 5.4.2.1 Single Instruction Single Data The SISD architectures encompass standard serial von Neumann architecture computers. In a sense, the SISD category is the base metric for Flynn’s taxonomy. 5.4.2.2 Single Instruction Multiple Data The SIMD computers are essentially array processors. This type of parallel computer architecture has n-processors, each executing the same instruction, but on different data streams. Often each element in the array can only communicate with its nearest neighbour. Computer architectures that are usually classified as SIMD are the systolic and wave-front array computers. In both types of processor, each processing element executes the same (and only) instruction, but on different data. Hence these architectures are SIMD. SIMD machines are widely used for such imaging computation as matrix arithmetic and convolution . 5.4.2.3 Multiple Instruction Single Data The MISD computer architecture lends itself naturally to those computations requiring an input to be subjected to several operations, each receiving the input in its original form.
