Abstract

Parallel processing is one of the emerging trends. The main aim of parallel processing is faster execution of processes. Parallel processing can be achieved using either a cluster or grid. The aim of the project is to build a high performance computational grid with the help of Globus Toolkit and to optimize the running time of search applications. The globus toolkit is a widely accepted tool for building computational grid. The Installation of the server and client requires several important tools and those tools will be downloaded, installed and configured as per the requirement. The number of clients depends on the size and running time of the application. The file to be searched will be divided into modules and each such module will be searched in parallel, thereby distributing the load among several machines in order to reduce the total running time of the searching. The sequential running time and parallel running time of the search operation will be compared to prove that searching in parallel will consume much lesser time than running the searching in sequential.
