A Review on Grid and Cloud Computing On Performance Basis

Simrit Kaur Sohal, Harmanbir Singh Sidhu

Abstract: Cloud computing is pay- as- you- use model which is based on the principle that the end user pays only for the services (such as computer platform, infrastructure and data storage) that are used or reserved by the user. In computing era, it is considered as a great revolution that developed after grid computing. Grid computing refers to collection of computer resources applying to compute single problem from different locations at same time. The integral part in computing environment is performance monitoring. This paper makes an attempt to compare the performance of grid and cloud computing and suggesting newer methods to enhance the performance for fast retrieval of data.
