Dynamic Load Balancing and Pricing in Grid Computing with Communication Delay

Abstract: Due to the emergence of Grid computing over the Internet, there is presently a need for dynamic load balancing algorithms which take into account the characteristics of Grid computing environments. In this paper, we consider a Grid architecture where computers belong to dispersed administrative domains or groups which are connected with heterogeneous communication bandwidths. We address the problem of determining which group an arriving job should be allocated to and how its load can be distributed among compu… Show more

“…In literature, the researchers have proposed several loadbalancing strategies in Grid environments [6,7,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…The approach circumvents the scalability problem by using an ordinal distributed learning strategy, and realizes multi-agent coordination based on an information sharing mechanism with limited communication. Zheng et al [26] addressed the problem of determining which group an arriving job should be allocated to and how its load can be distributed among computers in the group to optimize the performance. The algorithms guarantee finding a load distribution over computers in a group that leads to the minimum response time or computational cost.…”

“…Zheng [27], Mills and Dabrowski [16] and Penmatsa [20] also consider alternative rules for resource allocation. The methods by Zheng [27] and Penmatsa and Chronopoulos [20] follow a game-theoretic approach, typically based on pricing assumptions, stochastic arrivals, and an M/M/1 queue model for a computer [27]. Mills and Dabrowski [16] provide simulations of economicsbased mechanisms for grid computing that provide better system welfare.…”
