Grid systems have been put to remarkable use in recent years. Finding planets, rendering multi-million
dollar movies, and helping to understand disease are
just some of the examples grid systems have been used
for. With business turning to towards using grid systems and looking to make them global mechanisms
for service delivery, they are nicely poised to be an
exciting future prospect. However the performance
of a grid system is strongly related to how well grid
resource allocation is performed. With many possible
approaches to grid resource allocation we have to ask
the question, what impact does the choice of resource
allocation methodology have on the utilisation and
performance of a Grid system? This paper addresses
this question through the investigation of the characteristic allocation patterns for three different resource
allocation mechanisms and their subsequent effect on
resource utilisation within a simulated Grid system. |
