Abstract

In data grid environments, datasets are usually replicated to many servers when taking into consideration its efficiency. Since these files are usually huge in size, how to efficiently transmit and access between servers and grid users is an important issue. In this paper, we present an economy-based parallel file transfer technique using P2P co-allocation scheme, aiming to service grid applications efficiently and economically in data grids. Taking into consideration the cost factor, we present a novel mechanism for selection of appropriate server, by combining with an adaptive file decomposition scheme and the dynamic adjustment method. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we have implemented the proposed algorithm and compared with several other previous published techniques. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique is economically effective.
