Abstract :
The power of sharing resources and information is to huge to ignore. Grid computing has promised to enable the sharing particularly by scientific research and academic communities. The objective of this paper is to lend some understanding on grid in terms of its architecture, development and evolution. Review was conducted on some grid models, common feature and characteristics, architecture and phases of a grid development. The paper recommends that the awareness of grid is proposed among researchers in developing countries so that resources can be shared and better research can be conducted.
