“…We show in section 4.2 that using dynamic communications rather than using the master to share GUB allows to complete the computation faster. In [6] Aida and Osumi propose a study of their hierarchical master-worker framework implemented using GridRPC middleware [10] and Ninf-G [11]. The authors discuss the granularity of tasks, notably when tasks are fine-grain the communication overhead is too high compared to the computation of tasks.…”

Abstract. This article presents Grid'BnB, a parallel branch and bound framework for grids. Branch and bound (B&B) algorithms find optimal solutions of search problems and NP-hard optimization problems. Grid'BnB is a Java framework that helps programmers to distribute problems over grids by hiding distribution issues. It is built over a masterworker approach and provides a transparent communication system among tasks. This work also introduces a new mechanism to localize computational nodes on the deployed grid. With this mechanism, we can determine if two nodes are on the same cluster. This mechanism is used in Grid'BnB to reduce inter-cluster communications. We run experiments on a nationwide grid. With this test bed, we analyze the behavior of a communicant application deployed on a large-scale grid that solves the flow-shop problem.

“…Running such applications on grid infrastructures requires the use of adequate programming paradigms for distributed systems, able to cope with the targeted large scale. Among the various programming models which aim at reducing the increasing programming complexity, one approach relies on the Grid Remote Procedure Call (GridRPC) [19]. This paradigm extends the classical RPC model by enabling asynchronous, coarse-grained parallel tasking.…”

Abstract:As grids become more and more attractive for solving complex problems with high computational and storage requirements, the need for adequate grid programming models is considerable. To this purpose, the GridRPC model has been proposed as a grid version of the classical RPC paradigm, with the goal to build NES (Network-Enabled Server) environments. Paradoxically enough, in this model, data management has not been defined and is now explicitly left at the user's charge. The contribution of this paper is to enhance data management in NES by introducing a transparent data access model, available through the concept of grid data-sharing service. Data management (persistent storage, transfer, consistent replication) is totally delegated to the service, whereas the applications simply access shared data via global identifiers. We illustrate our approach using the DIET GridRPC middleware and the JUXMEM data-sharing service. Experiments performed on the Grid'5000 testbed demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach.

“…NetSolve is positioned as a programming system for high performance distributed computing on global networks based on GridRPC [5]. In NetSolve, output data of remote tasks are typically sent back to the client upon completion of each remote task even if the data are only needed as input for some other remote tasks, resulting in socalled bridge communications which increase the execution time of applications.…”

Abstract. This paper advocates a non-intrusive and incremental approach to enabling existing Grid programming systems with new features. In particular, it presents a software component enabling NetSolve applications with direct communications between remote tasks. The software component is a supplementary one working on the top of the basic NetSolve system. Its design also allows remote tasks to be freely mixed in a single application, independent on whether each particular task is enabled for direct communications or not. Experiments with this software are also presented.
