Towards Feasible and Effective Load Sharing in a Heterogeneous Computational Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A grid has to provide strong incentive for participating sites to join and stay in it. Participating sites are concerned with the performance improvement brought by the gird for the jobs of their own local user communities. Feasible and effective load sharing is key to fulfilling such a concern. This paper explores the load-sharing policies concerning feasibility and heterogeneity on computational grids. Several job scheduling and processor allocation policies are proposed and evaluated through a series of simulations using workloads derived from publicly available trace data. The simulation results indicate that the proposed job scheduling and processor allocation policies are feasible and effective in achieving performance improvement on a heterogeneous computational grid.

Effective Resource Allocation and Job Scheduling Mechanisms for Load Sharing in a Computational Grid
AbstrAct Most current grid environments are established through collaboration among a group of participating sites which volunteer to provide free computing resources. Therefore, feasible load sharing policies that benefit all sites are an important incentive for attracting computing sites to join and stay in a grid environment. Moreover, a grid environment is usually heterogeneous in nature at...
متن کاملCosts and Benefits of Load Sharing in the Computational Grid
We present an analysis of the costs and benefits of load sharing of parallel jobs in the computational grid. We begin with a workload generation model that captures the essential properties of parallel jobs and use it as input to a grid simulation model. Our experiments are performed for both homogeneous and heterogeneous grids. We measured average job slowdown with respect to both local and re...

Parallel connection of inverter modules is a solution to increase reliability, efficiency and redundancy of inverters in Micro-Grid system. Proper load sharing among parallel inverters is a key point. The circulating current among the inverters can greatly reduce the efficiency or even cause instability of the system. In this paper, a control strategy for improving the load sharing performance ...
