Network-Aware HEFT Scheduling for Grid

الملخص EN

We present a network-aware HEFT.

The original HEFT does not take care of parallel network flows while designing its schedule for a computational environment where computing nodes are physically at distant locations.

In the proposed mechanism, such data transfers are stretched to their realistic completion time.

A HEFT schedule with stretched data transfers exhibits the realistic makespan of the schedule.

It is shown how misleading a schedule can be if the impact of parallel data transfers that share a bottleneck is ignored.

A network-aware HEFT can be used to yield a benefit for Grid applications.
