Abstract:

Data Grid allows many organizations to share data across large geographical area. The idea behind data replication is to store copies of the same file at different locations. Therefore, if a copy at a location is lost or not available, it can be brought from another location. Additionally, data replication results in a reduced time and bandwidth because of bringing the file from a closer location. However, the files that need to be replicated have to be selected wisely. In this paper, a round-based data replication strategy is proposed to select the most appropriate files for replication at the end of each round based on a number of factors. The proposed strategy is based on Popular File Replicate First (PFRF) strategy, and it overcomes the drawbacks of PFRF. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy yields better performance in terms of average file delay per request, average file bandwidth consumption per request, and percentage of files found.
