An Information Retrieving Protocol for Resource Monitoring in Grid Computing

Abstract

To manage the large scale of resources with dynamically access in Grid computing, resource management is a key component. In this paper, a Grid Resource Information Monitoring (GRIM) prototype is introduced to accomplish the task. To support the constantly changing of resource states in the GRIM prototype, the push-based data delivery protocol named Grid Resource Information Retrieving (GRIR) is provided. The offset-sensitive mechanism, time-sensitive mechanism, and hybrid mechanism in GRIR are used to achieve a high degree of data accuracy with the less useless update messages. Experimental result shows that the proposed mechanism not only alleviates the update transmission but also achieves the less loss of data accuracy than the prior work.
