Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In recent years data grids have been deployed and grown in many scientific experiments and data centers. The deployment of such environments has allowed grid users to gain access to a large number of distributed data. Data replication is a key issue in a data grid and should be applied intelligently because it reduces data access time and bandwidth consumption for each grid site. Therefore this area will be very challenging as well as providing much scope for improvement. In this paper, we introduce a new dynamic data replication algorithm named Popular File Group Replication, PFGR which is based on three assumptions: first, users in a grid site (Virtual Organization) have similar interests in files and second, they have the temporal locality of file accesses and third, all files are read-only. Based on file access history and first assumption, PFGR builds a connectivity graph for a group of dependent files in each grid site and replicates the most popular group files to the requester grid site. After that, when a user of that grid site needs some files, they are available locally. The simulation results show that our algorithm increases performance by minimizing the mean job execution time and bandwidth consumption and avoids unnecessary replication.
