Abstract:
Grid computing system has been suggested as an effective technology in distributed resource coupling for applications that require large-scale resource sharing, where processors and communication have significantly influence on grid computing system reliability. A grid computing system contains a series of machines, resources, programs and communication network. Each machine includes a series of resources and programs. In designing a grid computing system, a topology is specified by distributing the resources and programs in grid computing system machines and defining communication network between the machines, which have significant effect on grid computing system reliability. Finding such a topology that guarantees the maximum reliability is difficult and considered as an NP-Hard problem. In this work, a novel method is proposed for designing and improving the grid computing system reliability based on Simulated Annealing. The proposed method has this ability to obtain a new topology with more reliability in comparison to the initial given grid computing system.
