Abstract

A grid is an infrastructure to meet the ongoing demands of science and engineering (Foster et al. in Int J High Perform Comput Appl 13(3):200–222, 2001) [1]. In the midst of the 1980s and the 1990s, researchers observed that parallel computing and distributed computing was not only sufficient for solving the biggest challenges of engineering problems. They needed some mechanism which could utilize the power of distributed as well as parallel computing. Grid computing (Foster and Kesselmen in The grid: blueprint for a future computing infrastructure. Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, pp 1–593, 1999; Jacob et al. in Introduction to grid computing, 1st edn., 2005) [2, 3] was the solution to their problem. But working in a grid environment is not really easy since the grid users are increasing and services are becoming commercial, so it is desirable to free the users from the load of job handling. The grid scheduler or resource broker performs the task of job handling such as resource management and fulfilling user requirements. In this chapter, an anatomy of grid schedulers has been discussed which discusses intrinsic properties of different grid schedulers.
