Exploiting P2P and Grid Computing Technologies for Resource Sharing to Support High Performance Distributed System

Author(s):  
Liangxiu Han

This chapter identifies challenges and requirements for resource sharing to support high performance distributed Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) systems. The chapter draws attention to two popular and important design paradigms: Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing systems, which are evolving as two practical solutions to supporting wide-area resource sharing over the Internet. As a fundamental task of resource sharing, the efficient resource discovery is playing an important role in the context of the SOC setting. The chapter presents the resource discovery in Grid and P2P environments through an overview of related systems, both historical and emerging. The chapter then discusses the exploitation of both technologies for facilitating the resource discovery within large-scale distributed computing systems in a flexible, scalable, fault-tolerant, interoperable and security fashion.

Grid computing or computational grid has become a vast research field in academics. It is a promising platform that provides resource sharing through multi-institutional virtual organizations for dynamic problem solving. Such platforms are much more cost-effective than traditional high performance computing systems. Due to the provision of scalability of resources, these days grid computing has become popular in industry as well. However, computational grid has different constraints and requirements to those of traditional high performance computing systems. In order to fully exploit such grid systems, resource management and scheduling are key challenges, where issues of task allocation and load balancing represent a common problem for most grid systems as because the load scenarios of individual grid resources are dynamic in nature. The objective of this paper is to review different existing load balancing algorithms or techniques applicable in grid computing and propose a layered service oriented framework for computational grid to solve the prevailing problem of dynamic load balancing.

The latest advances in network and distributedsystem technologies now allow integration of a vast variety of services with almost unlimited processing power, using large amounts of data. Sharing of resources is often viewed as the key goal for distributed systems, and in this context the sharing of stored data appears as the most important aspect of distributed resource sharing. Scientific applications are the first to take advantage of such environments as the requirements of current and future high performance computing experiments are pressing, in terms of even higher volumes of issued data to be stored and managed. While these new environments reveal huge opportunities for large-scale distributed data storage and management, they also raise important technical challenges, which need to be addressed. The ability to support persistent storage of data on behalf of users, the consistent distribution of up-to-date data, the reliable replication of fast changing datasets or the efficient management of large data transfers are just some of these new challenges. In this chapter we discuss how the existing distributed computing infrastructure is adequate for supporting the required data storage and management functionalities. We highlight the issues raised from storing data over large distributed environments and discuss the recent research efforts dealing with challenges of data retrieval, replication and fast data transfers. Interaction of data management with other data sensitive, emerging technologies as the workflow management is also addressed.
