A Brief Survey on Few Common Issues for High Performance Computing:Grid And Cloud

The recent trend of computing or analysing bulk amount of data needs a substantial support of a number of parallel resources. This can only be achieved via a high performance computing environment/infrastructure. Although going for a supercomputer is also a probable solution to it, but hiring/buying the same involves a large amount of money. Existing supercomputers are very exotic machines with high-end technologies inside them. They are gigantic in terms of scalability. In some of the present ones, 10,000 of thousands of processors make up a single machine. However high performance computing environment can be thought of a scenario, where a supercomputer have been divided into small clusters of nodes/machines, where the clusters may be part of the same organization. even across organizational boundaries. It is obvious that such type of a high-end processing environment will provide a fruitful contribution to the computing community. But the probable issues associated with it cannot be ignored.
