Grid Matrix: A grid simulation tool to focus on the propagation of resource and monitoring information

Grid Computing proposes unlimited access to different computational resources in a transparent way. High performance execution in grid environments is virtually impossible without timely access to accurate and up-to-date information related to distributed resources and services. Due to inherent diff...

The simulated scenario consisted of 96 master nodes based on the real Teragrid infrastructure as was publicly available at the time of writing this paper. We introduce three metrics that capture and summarize the information propagation behavior: LIR, GIR and GIV. LIR captures the local behavior quantifying the amount of up-to-date information in each node. GIR evaluates the global information state in the whole network averaging the LIR values, while GIV measures the variability of LIR. In the presented case, the best results in terms of the proposed metrics were attained by the hierarchical policy, followed by super-peer which outperformed random and best-neighbor.
