Joint Scheduling of Tasks and Communication in WDM Optical Networks for Supporting Grid Computing

  • Conference paper
Networks for Grid Applications (GridNets 2008)

Abstract

A flexible task model (FTM) is proposed for modeling the relationship between grid tasks. We investigate the problem of scheduling grid computing tasks under FTM using light-trails in WDM networks to supporting the data communication between the tasks. Simulation results show that our proposed task scheduling algorithm under FTM significantly reduces the total task completion time.
