A Dynamic Adjustment Strategy for File Transformation in Data Grids

In this paper, we propose a dynamic file transfer scheme with coallocation architecture, called Dynamic Adjustment Strategy, a dynamic file transfer scheme with co-allocation architecture that reduce the file transfer times and improves the performance in Data Grid environments. Our approach reduces the idle time faster servers spend waiting for the slowest server, and decreases file transfer completion time. We also present a new toolkit, called Cyber-Transformer, with a friendly graphical user interface interface running on the client side that makes it easy for inexperienced users to manage replicas and download the files in Data Grid environments. We also provide an effective scheme for reducing the cost of reassembling data blocks.
