“…PERCOSIM performs combined continuous/discrete event simulation, with distinct mechanisms of simulation for the Scheduler, Application Performance Steerer and Component Performance Steerer elements of PerCo. This approach differs from existing Grid simulators, such as Song et al (2000), Casanova (2001) and Buyya & Murshed (2002), and gives rise to an efficient and flexible tool for modelling scheduling behaviour.…”

In the 2005 paper by Mayes et al., a threshold-based performance control system (PerCo) was described and an initial experimental evaluation was presented. The objective of the current paper is to investigate the role of the threshold value in PerCo and to place the threshold-based rescheduling heuristic on a more principled footing. Simulation enables us to identify the 'optimal' threshold value for a particular application scenario, and we show that this optimal value results in a 10 per cent improvement in performance for the application considered by Mayes et al. Furthermore, we find that the execution time of this optimal threshold-based schedule is very close (within 0.5%) to the execution time that results from a linear programming optimal schedule.

The Peer-to-Peer (p2p) and Grid infrastructure communities are tackling an overlapping set of problems. In addressing these problems, p2p solutions are usually motivated by elegance or research interest. Grid researchers, under pressure from thousands of scientists with real file sharing and computational needs, are pooling their solutions from a wide range of sources in an attempt to meet user demand. Driven by this need to solve large scientific problems quickly, the Grid is being constructed with the tools at hand: FTP or RPC for data transfer, centralization for scheduling and authentication, and an assumption of correct, obediant nodes. If history is any guide, the World Wide Web depicts viscerally that systems that address user needs can have enormous staying power and affect future research. The Grid infrastructure is a great customer waiting for future p2p products. By no means should we make them our only customers, but we should at least put them on the list. If p2p research does not at least address the Grid, it may eventually be sidelined by defacto distributed algorithms that are less elegant but were used to solve Grid problems. In essense, we'll have been scooped, again.
