Adaptive timeout discovery using the Network Weather Service - Trang 35-41
M.S. Allen, R. Wolski, J.S. Plank
In this paper we present a novel methodology for improving the performance and dependability of application-level messaging in Grid systems. Based on the Network Weather Service, our system uses nonparametric statistical forecasts of request-response times to automatically determine message timeouts. By choosing a timeout based on predicted network performance, the methodology improves application...... hiện toàn bộ

Distributed model coupling framework - Trang 284-290
M.T. Bettencourt
An implementation of a distributed model coupling framework is documented. This framework provides the infrastructure for a data-flow approach for solving the problem of distributed numerical models sharing coupling information. There exists a centralized server which stores coupling information such as surface fluxes. This information is then passed to client applications (numerical models) throu...... hiện toàn bộ

The performance of processor co-allocation in multicluster systems - Trang 414
A.I.D. Bucur, D.H.J. Epema
In systems consisting of multiple clusters of processors interconnected by relatively slow communication links, co-allocation may be required. We study its performance by means of simulations, depending on the structure and sizes of jobs, and the communication speed ratio. We model a multicluster with C clusters of identical processors. The workload consists of rigid jobs that require fixed number...... hiện toàn bộ

Decoupling computation and data scheduling in distributed data-intensive applications - Trang 352-358
K. Ranganathan, I. Foster
In high-energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So-called Data Grids seek to harness geographically distributed resources for such large-scale data-intensive problems. Yet effective scheduling in such environments is challenging, due to a need to address a variety of met...... hiện toàn bộ

Location-transparent naming in grid computing using Legion-G - Trang 418
M. Humphrey, S. Arnold, G. Wasson
Globus is a powerful toolkit but lacks location transparency in its naming system, due to a reliance on URLs. In practical terms, this means that a Grid user (or software running on behalf of the user) must know precisely where Grid entities are. The problem is that hardware reconfiguration, file system reorganization, and changes in organizational structure can often result in dangling links. At ...... hiện toàn bộ

An enterprise-based grid resource management system - Trang 83-90
Q. Snell, K. Tew, J. Ekstrom, M. Clement
As the Internet began its exponential growth into a global information environment, software was often unreliable, slow and had difficulty in interoperating with other systems. Supercomputing node counts also continue to follow high growth trends. Supercomputer and grid resource management software must mature into a reliable computational platform in much the same way that web services matured fo...... hiện toàn bộ

Dynamic monitoring of high-performance distributed applications - Trang 163-170
D. Gunter, B. Tierney, K. Jackson, J. Lee, M. Stoufer
Developers and users of high-performance distributed systems often observe performance problems such as unexpectedly low throughput or high latency. Determining the source of the performance problems requires detailed end-to-end instrumentation of all components, including the applications, operating systems, hosts, and networks. However, one must be very careful to design the instrumentation to h...... hiện toàn bộ

Virtual services in data grids - Trang 420
A. Jagatheesan, R. Moore, A. Rajasekar, Bing Zhu
Data grids enable next generation scientific explorations that require intensive computation and analysis of petabyte-scale shared data collections. Apart from the challenge in creation and management of the data, another major challenge is the discovery of derived data products that have already been created. This work addresses the later challenge in minimizing response time and conserving the c...... hiện toàn bộ

Multigrain parallelism for eigenvalue computations on networks of clusters - Trang 143-149
J.R. McCombs, A. Stathopoulos
Clusters of workstations have become a cost-effective means of performing scientific computations. However, large network latencies, resource sharing, and heterogeneity found in networks of clusters and Grids can impede the performance of applications not specifically tailored for use in such environments. A typical example is the traditional fine grain implementations of Krylov-like iterative met...... hiện toàn bộ

A decentralized, adaptive replica location mechanism - Trang 24-32
M. Ripeanu, I. Foster
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chord, Gnutella) distributed search and indexing schemes, nodes in our location mechanism do not route queries, instead, they organize into an overlay network and distribute location information. We contend that this approach...... hiện toàn bộ
