Grid and Cloud Computing by D Janakiram

Classic time-tested reference text traces the complete evolution and progress of models of computation from clusters to grid to cloud computing. Result of interesting journey of evolution of these models of computation in the past 15 years at Distributed and Object Systems Lab at renowned institutes like IIT, Madras which reflects the various developments and breakthrough in the field. Product is primarily an aid for researchers in scientific computing, to program their applications using the software given along the book Case studies like stabilizing peer-to-peer systems using public cloud have been added to give practical approach to the subject.
