Towards scalable and reliable Grid Networks
O. A. Rahmeh, Princy Johnson · 2008
Improvements in computer and networking technologies over the past decades produced new type of collaborative computing environment called grid networks. Grid is a parallel and distributed computing network system that provides the ability to perform higher throughput computing by taking advantage of many computing resources available in the network. Therefore, to achieve a scalable and reliable grid network system, we need to efficiently distribute the load among the resources accessible on the network. In this paper, we present a distributed and scalable load- balancing framework for grid networks. The generated network system is self-organized and depends only on local information for load distribution and resource discovery. Simulation results show that the generated network system provides an effective, scalable, and reliable load-balancing scheme for the distributed resources accessible on grid networks.
