A network performance aware QoS based workflow scheduling for grid services

الملخص EN

Grids enable sharing, selection and aggregation of geographically distributed resources among various organizations.

They are now emerging as promising computing paradigms for resource and compute intensive scientific workflow applications modeled as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) with intricate inter-task dependencies.

Job scheduling is an important and challenging issue in a grid environment.

There are various scheduling algorithm proposed for grid environments to distribute the load among processors and maximize resource utilization while reducing task execution time.

Task execution time is not the only parameter to be improved; various QoS parameters are also to be considered in job scheduling in grid computing.

In this Research we have studied the existing QoS based Task scheduling, work flow scheduling and formulated the problem.

The possible solutions are developed for the problems identified in existing algorithms.

The scheduling of dependent task (work flow) is more challenging than independent task scheduling.

The scheduling of both dependent and independent tasks with satisfying QOS requirements of users is a very challenging issue in grid computing.

This paper proposes a Novel Network aware QoS workflow scheduling method for Grid Services.

The proposed scheduling algorithm considers network and QoS constraints.

The goal of the proposed scheduling algorithm is to implement the workflow schedule so that it reduces execution time and resource cost and yet meets the deadline imposed by the user.

The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm improves the success ratio of tasks and throughput of resources while reducing makespan and workflow execution cost
