Re: [GridSim-users] Parallel schedulers in GridSim

[Marcos D. de A. <ma...@cs...>]

Hi Abhinav,

I suppose you are trying to provide some level of co-ordination  
amongst the site schedulers. Various approaches and protocols for  
enabling such a co-ordination have been proposed in the literature.  
Please see the following papers for example:

Grimme, C., Lepping, J., and Papaspyrou, A. (2008). Prospects of  
collaboration between compute providers by means of job interchange.  
In Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, volume 4942 of  
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 132–151, Berlin /  
Heidelberg. Springer.

England, D. and Weissman, J. B. (2004). Costs and benefits of load  
sharing in the computational Grid. In 10th International Workshop on  
Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing (JSSPP ’04), volume  
3277 of LNCS, pages 160–175, New York, USA. Springer Berling Heidelberg.

152, London, UK. Springer-Verlag.

architecture for hierarchical Grid resource management. Future
