A Toolkit for Modelling and Simulation of Data Grids with Integration of Data Storage, Replication and Analysis
Anthony Sulistio, Rajkumar Buyya · 2006
Data Grids are an emerging new technology for managing large amounts of distributed data. This technology is highly-anticipated by scientific communities, such as in the area of astronomy, protein simulation and high energy physics. This is because experiments in these fields generate massive amount of data which need to be shared and analysed. Since it is not possible to test many different usage scenarios on real Data Grid testbeds, it is easier to use simulation as a means of studying complex scenarios.
