Provisioning and Scheduling Resources for World-Wide Data-Sharing Services

Abstract

Abstract

The Grid Workloads Archive

“…Similarly, the traces have been used to characterize grids as service-oriented architectures, by assessing the jobs' goodput and throughput [29]. Finally, the traces have been used to show that grids can be treated as dynamic systems with quantifiable [35] or predictable behavior [36][37][38]. These studies show evidence that grids are capable of becoming a predictable, high-throughput computation utility.…”

“…The contents of the GWA have also been used to evaluate the performance of various scheduling policies, both in real [5] and simulated [35,31]environments. Finally, the tools in the GWA have been used to provide an analysis back-end to a grid simulation environment [31].…”

Formal QoS Policy Based Grid Resource Provisioning Framework

“…In this framework, only those jobs can be submitted to the resources that have multiple dependencies and differentiated QoS provisioning but applications' execution deadline has not been considered whereas our work considers both cost and deadline simultaneously at the time of implementation of the resource provisioning. Iosup et al [16] have discussed about on demand resource provisioning for dynamic environment with worldwide sharing resources. Scheduling policy has been designed to solve the problem of resource shortage with heavy workload but security at the time of provisioning has not been considered for data sharing.…”

Estimating The Size Of Peer-To-Peer Networks Using Lambert's W Function

“…Secondly, many parameters that control the provisioning of resources in commercial P2P applications (such as data or video on demand) should be based on the network size [7]. To give a concrete example, the performance of BitTorrent can be improved by selecting the choking/unchoking count and rate dynamically, which eliminates a a potential source of poor performance [8].…”
