Abstract

In this paper, global optimization model is designed for grid computing system. It is provided as a promising model for grid resource scheduling algorithm. It aims at solving the problem of optimally allocating services on the grid to optimize the grid service reliability, deadline and cost. In this paper, the problem of optimizing the reliability of grid systems has been modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem where apart from the grid system reliability; the system cost, deadline and redundancy are also considered as its constraints. The algorithm considers failure rate of computational and network resources to do the reliability analysis of the grid system. Based on the service reliability of the grid system, the proposed RORS algorithm selects the set of optimal resources among the candidate resources based on reliability, application execution time and cost that achieves optimal performance using a genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been demonstrated using Java-based GridSim tool.
