Grid computing aims at offering standardized access to heterogeneous and distributed resources for scientific communities. However, in order to support emerging next generation Grid applications with specific Quality of Service requirements, the interconnecting networks have also been considered as first-class allocable Grid resources and have been also taken into account for the co-scheduling process...
A key problem in Grid networks is how to efficiently manage the available infrastructure, in order to satisfy user requirements and maximize resource utilization. This is in large part influenced by the algorithms responsible for the routing of data and the scheduling of tasks. In this paper, we present several multi-cost algorithms for the joint scheduling of the communication and computation resources...
Deflection routing is a much-studied contention resolution technique in the context of Optical Burst/Packet Switching networks, as it promises to improve burst blocking performance and may reduce or even eliminate buffer requirements. An OBS-based Grid is frequently based on anycast routing, which holds even greater potential to use the deflection technique for successful delivery of Grid jobs. As...
To cope with ever-increasing traffic demands in transport networks, all-optical switching is currently perceived as a solution to remove bottlenecks imposed by O/E/O conversions during data transfer. The successful realization of this concept is in large part dependent on the optical switch, which must support a wide range of traffic patterns, while remaining feasible to build both in an economical...
