Abstract:Following the rapid development of the high-performance computer application,some problems of the large scale application weren’t solved in the single computer or the single group of computer systems.So it needs all kinds of the high-performance computer systems which have the distributional geography and the heterogeneous systems.They are connected with the high-speed network.Grid technology can solve the high-performance computing application.Grid technology research both at home and abroad is outlined.The wide application and the future development of grid technology are pointed out.
