Resource Management in Grid Computing: A Review

Abstract

A Network Computing System is a virtual computer formed by a networked set of heterogeneous machines that agree to share their local resources with each other A grid is a very large scale network computing system that scales to internet size environments with machines distributed across multiple organizationsand administrative domains The resource management system is the central component of grid computing system Resources in the grid are distributed heterogeneous autonomous and unpredictable A resource management system matches requests to resources schedules the matched resources and executes the requests using scheduled resources Scheduling in the grid environment depends upon the characteristics of the tasks machines and network connectivity The paper provides a brief overview of resource management in grid computing considering important factors such as types of resource management in grid computing resource management models and comparison of various scheduling algorithm in resource management in grid computing
