An Adaptive Algorithm for Task Scheduling for Computational Grid

Grid Computing is a collection of computing and storage resources that are collected from multiple administrative domains. Grid resources can be applied to reach a common goal. Since computational grids enable the sharing and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources, an effective task scheduling is vital for managing the tasks. Efficient scheduling algorithms are the need of the hour to achieve efficient utilization of the unused CPU cycles distributed geographically in various locations. The existing job scheduling algorithms in grid computing are mainly concentrated on the system’s performance rather than the user satisfaction. This research work presents a new algorithm that mainly focuses on better meeting the deadlines of the statically available jobs as expected by the users. This algorithm also concentrates on the better utilization of the available heterogeneous resources.
