چکیده

Computational grids provide mechanisms for sharing and accessing large and heterogeneous collections of remote resources such as computers, online instruments, storage space, data, and applications. Resources are requested (”discovered”) by specifying a set of desired attributes. Resource attributes have various degrees of dynamism, from mostly static attributes, such as operating system version, to highly dynamic ones, such as available network bandwidth or CPU load. Another dimension of dynamism is introduced by variable and highly diverse sharing policies: resources are made available to the grid community based on locally defined and potentially changing policies. In such a dynamic environment it is often more efficient to forward requests than to disseminate resource information that soon becomes stale. We investigate a set of request forwarding strategies in a peer-to-peer like architecture: each peer acts independently, based on possibly partial or outdated information about the rest of the system and forwards the requests it cannot solve to another peer. We investigate these strategies in environments with different sharing characteristics, different request distributions, and on networks of up to 32768 (215) peers. The results allow to characterize the correlation between resource discovery performance based on request forwarding, resource sharing characteristics, and user request patterns.

Reliable Resource Discovery Approaches for Grid Environments

Resource discovery is one of the most important services affecting grid performance. Because of inherent characteristics of grid environments such as heterogeneity, dynamicity and scalability, usually grid resource discovery approaches deal with some challenges to be efficient. One of the most important challenges is reliability and stability of resource discovery in grid environment. The main ...

Peer-to-peer protocols and grid services for resource discovery on grids

Resource discovery is a key issue in Grid environments, since applications are usually constructed by composing hardware and software resources that need to be found and selected. Classical approaches to Grid resource discovery, based on centralized or hierarchical approaches, do not guarantee scalability in large-scale, dynamic Grid environments. On the other hand, the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) parad...

A Peer-to-Peer Approach to Resource Location in Grid Environments

Resource location (or discovery) is a fundamental service for resource-sharing environments: given desired resource attributes, the service returns locations of matching resources. Designing such a service for a Grid environment of the scale and volatility of today’s peer-to-peer systems is not trivial. We explore part of the design space through simulations on an emulated Grid. To this end, we...

Weighted-HR: An Improved Hierarchical Grid Resource Discovery

Grid computing environments include heterogeneous resources shared by a large number of computers to handle the data and process intensive applications. In these environments, the required resources must be accessible for Grid applications on demand, which makes the resource discovery as a critical service. In recent years, various techniques are proposed to index and discover the Grid resource...

Peer-to-Peer Approaches to Grid Resource Discovery

Peer-to-peer organization of Grid resource discovery services would have several desirable features, including high scalability, high reliability, self-organization and self-healing. In this paper, we describe challenges in applying P2P techniques to Grid services. These include the choice of overlay configuration and varying security requirements for Grid and P2P environments. We present the d...
