OPTIMIZATION OF GRID RESOURCE SCHEDULING USING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Abstract
Job allocation process is one of the big issues in grid environment and it is one of the research areas in Grid Computing. Hence a new area of research is developed to design optimal methods. It focuses on new heuristic techniques that provide an optimal or near optimal solution for large grids. By learning grid resource scheduling and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm, this proposed scheduler allocates an application to a host from a pool of available hosts and applications by selecting the best match. PSO-based algorithm is more effective in grid resources scheduling with the favor of reducing the executing time and completing time.
