File Allocation Algorithms to Minimize Data Transmission Time in Distributed Computing Systems

並列摘要


This work addresses a files allocation problem (FAP) in distributed computing systems. This FAP attempts to minimi7e the expected data transfer time for a specific program that must access several data files from non-perfect computer sites. We assume that communication capacity can be reserved; hence, the data transmission behavior is modeled as a many-to-one multi-commodity flow problem. A new critical-cut method is proposed to solve this reduced multi-commodity flow problem. Based on this method, two algorithms which use branch-and-bound are proposed for this FAP. The proposed algorithms are able to allocate data files having single copies or multiple replicated copies. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the algorithms.
