Monitoring gird resources using Web Service is an important issue in grid computing.Although some concern has been given to the Index Service scalability with increasing grid resources, the overhead of processing thousands of resource information requests may cause performance problems in Index service for grid monitoring.This paper proposed a replica scheduling mechanism based on load balancing with adjusted capability to meet the performance requirements of Index Service. We have designed and implemented this mechanism on a Scalable Grid Monitoring System (SGMS) which is WSRF/WSRP-based.From the results of evaluations, we conclude that SGMS can enhance efficiency of Index Service and guarantee high-scalability of Index Service with increasing requests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
