Abstract: |
In grid computing, the
realization of an enviable fault tolerance ability
is linked with the proper utilization of resources and scheduling of jobs.
The literature offers two solutions to these two challenging tasks, viz. check-
pointing and replication. A checkpointing strategy
is being proposed that uses the median of failure inter- vals
of the resources in deciding the checkpoint intervals for the given jobs. The
strategy shows improved sys- tem throughput, job losses and job execution
times while eliminating unnecessary checkpoints. |
