Introducing Grid Speedup G: A Scalability Metric for Parallel Applications on the Grid

چکیده
We introduce the concept of Grid Speedup as a scalability metric for parallel applications on the grid and analyze it theoretically. It is shown that classes of applications exist for which good grid speedups can be expected. The class of stencil-based applications is taken as an example. The Grid computing community is challenged to demonstrate large grid speedups on real Grid computing environments.

Two stream instability in plasma is simulated by PIC method. The execution time of the sequential and parallizable sections of the program is measured. The sequential program is parallelized with the help of the MPI functions. Then, the execution time of the sequential program versus the number of the grid points and the execution time of the parallel program on 3 and 5 processors versus the nu...
متن کاملThe Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences a Grid Computing Infrastructure for Monte Carlo Applications
Monte Carlo applications are widely perceived as computationally intensive but naturally parallel. Therefore, they can be effectively executed on the grid using the dynamic bag-of-work model. We improve the efficiency of the subtask-scheduling scheme by using an N-out-of-M strategy, and develop a Monte Carlo-specific lightweight checkpoint technique, which leads to a performance improvement for...
متن کاملStrategies for Parallel and Numerical Scalability of CFD Codes
In this article we discuss a strategy for speeding up the solution of the NavierStokes equations on highly complex solution domains such as complete aircraft, spacecraft, or turbomachinery equipment. We have used a nite-volume code for the (non-turbulent) Navier-Stokes equations as a testbed for implementation of linked numerical and parallel processing techniques. Speedup is achieved by the Ta...
متن کاملTowards a Distributed Scalable Data Service for the Grid
Abstract: AdHoc (Adaptive Distributed Herd of Object Caches) is a Grid-enabled, fast, scalable object repository providing programmers with a general storage module. We present three different software tools based on AdHoc: A parallel cache for Apache, a DSM, a main-memory parallel file system. We also show that these tool exhibit a considerable performance and speedup both in absolute figures ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Excitation Control Systems on Parallel Operation of DGs with the Main Grid
This paper presents actual cases of steady reactive power oscillation of Distributed Generations (DGs) during parallel operation with the main grid. The cause of the problem was found to be the adverse effects of excitation system voltage regulation. It is shown, through preliminary investigation and detailed simulation studies, that how the excitation control system can be modified to overcome...
