Abstract: A single parallel system, such as a cluster, with restricted number of resources may not be able to deliver appropriate computing power to applications demanding high computation power. One solution to this problem is to collect and utilize distributed computing resources that are owned and maintained by different institutions, labs or computing centres. The distributing computing power when connected transparently to meet the requirement of computation intensive applications has raised a new approach termed as grid computing. Grid computing is broadly considered as a concept of enormous potential in both industry and academia. Grid computing environment consists of geographically distributed resources like processors, storage systems and high speed networks. Implementation of grid computing environment involves several issues like security, resource management, data management, information services and scheduling. Some of which are of immediate concern and some are long term issues.
