[GridSim-users] AllocPolicy: sendFinishGridlet()

[Katia L. <kat...@gm...>]

Hello,
I'm usign GridSim5.2 to implement a generic federated grid.
I have developed my own classes including the class AllocationPolicy, that
extends AllocPolicy class.
Instead of implement this new class from scrach, I have modified some of
the SpaceShared class methods.
However, other methods remain the same, for example, "private void *
gridletFinish*(ResGridlet rgl, int status)".
This method invokes super.*sendFinishGridlet*( rgl.getGridlet() ); method
as soon as a gridlet finishes its execution.
Finally, sendFinishGridlet method invokes the super.*sim_schedule*(outputPort_,
0, GridSimTags.GRIDLET_RETURN, obj);
method of Sim_entity class.

However, I have discovered that in some cases there are gridlets whose
ending is reported much later.
Their status is SUCCESS, but their owners received the completion of the
gridlet even 3000 seconds later (simulation time).
Here you have part of the trace output of one simulation:

--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 ASSIGNED to Y at 304800.0
--> MetaScheduler-Y Gridlet-1978 ASSIGNED to M1 at *304830.0*
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is InExec at 308400.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at *308700.0*
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 309000.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 309300.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 309600.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 309900.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 310200.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 310500.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 310800.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 311100.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 311400.0
--> MetaScheduler-X Gridlet-1978 is Success at 311700.0
--> MetaScheduler-Y received Gridlet-1978 from M1 at 311908.75
--> MetaScheduler-X received Gridlet-1978 from Y at *311921.75*

As I said before, this only happens in few cases.
However, this delays increase whole application makespam
and spoil the final result.

Katia.
