“…Those which operate in user space are highly portable and can typically be compiled and run on any modern UNIX, such as Condor checkpoint [20] and Cocheck library [21]. In contrast, kernel based checkpointing packages such as Chpox [22] and Mosix checkpoint [23] for clusters and multiclusters can work as a Linux kernel module. Moreover, studies in [19] have shown that cooperative checkpointing provides greater performance and reliability than periodic checkpointing because it allows for irregular checkpoint intervals by giving the system an opportunity to skip requested checkpointing at runtime.…”

DAG has been extensively used in Grid workflow modeling. Since Grid resources tend to be heterogeneous and dynamic, efficient and dependable workflow job scheduling becomes essential. It poses great challenges to achieve minimum job accomplishing time and high resource utilization efficiency, while providing fault tolerance. Based on list scheduling and group scheduling, in this paper, we propose a novel scheduling heuristic called DAGMap. DAGMap consists of two phases, namely Static Mapping and Dependable Execution. Four salient features of DAGMap are:(1) Task grouping is based on dependency relationships and task upward priority;(2) Critical tasks are scheduled first; (3) Min-Min and Max-Min selective scheduling are used for independent tasks; and (4) Checkpoint server with cooperative checkpointing is designed for dependable execution. The experimental results show that DAGMap can achieve better performance than other previous algorithms in terms of speedup, efficiency, and dependability.

“…Some researchers [14] have also proposed virtualization of process migration. The author in [15] proposes to create a uniform virtual runtime environment on top of different hardware and software platform and this is the point of contention because every remote node has to be fine tuned to the kind of distributed clusters and Grids.…”
