An Automatic Resource Selection Scheme for Grid Computing Systems

AbstractThe operational efficacy of the grid computing system depends mainly on the proper management of grid resources to carry out the various jobs that users send to the grid. The paper explores an alternative way of efficiently searching, matching, and allocating distributed grid resources to jobs in such a way that the resource demand of each grid user job is met. A proposal of resource selection method that is based on the concept of genetic algorithm (GA) using populations based on multisets is made. Furthermore, the paper presents a hybrid GA-based scheduling framework that efficiently searches for the best available resources for user jobs in a typical grid computing environment. For the proposed resource allocation method, additional mechanisms (populations based on multiset and adaptive matching) are introduced into the GA components to enhance their search capability in a large problem space. Empirical study is presented in order to demonstrate the importance of operator improvement on traditional GA. The preliminary performance results show that the proposed introduction of an additional operator fine-tuning is efficient in both speed and accuracy and can keep up with high job arrival rates.

To calculate the potential impact of grid on the enterprise, one just needs to look back a decade or so ago. Those who remember how LANs developed in company years before the Web was born can easily get a picture of how Grid Computing in corporations may change in the years to come. In the early days of the Internet, there was a strong opposition to linking computers together in a network. Ultimately, however, the Internet has become a ubiquitous tool, and many experts predict the same outcome for Grid Computing on the enterprise. There are still concerns to consider and obstacles to be overcome, but the momentum behind corporate Grid Computing is quickly gathering pace. The integration of Grid Computing technologies into enterprise computing systems can provide a much richer range of possibilities. This integration should provide enhanced capabilities and interoperability to meet current virtual organization demands.
