In the Grid computing, it is a key issue how limited network resources are effectively shared by communications of various applications in order to improve the application-level performance, e.g., to reduce the completion time of each application and/or a set of applications. In fact, the communication of an application changes the condition of network resources, which may, in turn, affect the communications in other applications, and thus may deteriorate their performance. In this paper, we…

Performance models for hierarchical grid architectures

This paper uses queuing network models to analyze data-parallel grid applications and shows how the high variability in the execution and communication times must be considered when modeling applications on geographically distributed grid infrastructures.

Performance control of internet-based engineering applications.

Thanks to technologies able to simplifying the integration among remote programs hosted by different organizations, engineering and scientific communities are embodying service oriented architectures…

Dynamic Local Scheduling of Multiple DAGs in Distributed Heterogeneous Systems

The aim of this article is to present the dynamic (on-line) algorithm which schedules multiple DAG applications without any central node and the schedule is created only with the knowledge of node's network neigbourhood.

Network monitoring for GRID performance optimization

The effect of packet reordering in a backbone link on application throughput

The results show that only a small percentage of reordered packets, by at least three packet locations, in a backbone link can cause significant degradation of application throughput, and long flows are affected most.

This paper presents an approach to creating a global view on the Internet, a so-called network distance map, which realizes a hierarchical decomposition of the network into regions and which allows us to estimate the network distance between any two hosts.

Using Effective Network Views to Promote Distributed Application Performance

In this paper, we show that distributed parallel application performance in clusters of workstations benefits from knowledge about network topology in cases where LAN resources can become potential…

The Network Weather Service is a generalizable and extensible facility designed to provide dynamic resource performance forecasts in metacomputing environments and its design and predictive performance are outlined.

Sensitivity of parallel applications to large differences in bandwidth and latency in two-layer interconnects

This paper studies application performance on systems with strongly non-uniform remote memory access, and finds that for gaps larger than those of current generation NUMAs, performance suffers considerably (for applications that were designed for a uniform access interconnect).

Topology discovery in heterogeneous IP networks

Novel algorithms for discovering physical topology in heterogeneous (i.e., multi-vendor) IP networks are presented, which rely on standard SNMP MIB information that is widely supported by modern IP network elements and require no modifications to the operating system software running on elements or hosts.

Using loss pairs to discover network properties

Using loss pairs, it is shown that it is possible to characterize the packet dropping behavior of drop-tail and AQM routers internal to the network, from measurements made at end systems.
