Explain elements of grids.

 ELEMENTS OF GRID

Grid computing combines elements such as distributed computing, high-performance computing, and disposable computing depending on the application of the technology and the scale of operation. Grids can create a virtual supercomputer out of the existing servers, workstations, and personal computers. Present-day grids encompass the following types:

Computational grids, in which machines will set aside resources to "number crunch" data or provide coverage for other intensive workloads

Scavenging grids are commonly used to find and harvest machine cycles from idle servers and desktop computers for use in resource-intensive tasks (scavenging is usually implemented in a way that is unobtrusive to the owner/user of the processor)

Data grids, provide a unified interface for all data repositories in an organization, and through which data can be queried, managed, and secured. 

Market-oriented grids, deal with price-setting and negotiation, grid economy management, and utility-driven scheduling and resource allocation.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
