ABSTRACT

Network backbones are often presumed to be overprovisioned. Yet, the emergence of new applications with unprecedented bandwidth requirements are likely to quickly change the current state of affairs. Future Grid applications will require transfer of extremely large files between different national laboratory and research centers. This research proposed and developed an adaptive lambda grid scheduling algorithm (ALGSA); the Varying Bandwidth List Scheduler (VBLS) and the Virtual Finish time (ViFi) grid scheduler. The effectiveness of the algorithms reduced from 100% to about 83%, 65% and 61% for the proposed adaptive algorithm, the VBLS and the ViFi algorithms respectively. It can be observed that the proposed adaptive scheduler performs better than the VBLS and the ViFi algorithms. The VBLS algorithm performs better than the ViFi algorithm.  Furthermore, it can be noticed that the different in performance gets even more distinct as the number of files increases.
