A Performance Evaluation of the Synchronized Provisioning with an Adaptive Buffer Resilience Scheme over Grid Networks

Abstract

For widely distributed data analysis applications over that run the Internet, both the instability of the data transfer time and the dynamics of data processing rate require a more sophisticated data provisioning scheme to maximize parallel efficiency, in particular, under conditions in which real-time and limited data buffer (storage) constraints are given. In this letter, we propose a synchronized data provisioning scheme that implicitly avoids the data buffer overflow as well as explicitly controls the data buffer underflow by optimally adjusting the buffer resilience. In order to guarantee the designated quality of service, we further exploit an adaptive buffer resilience control algorithm based on sample path analysis of the state of the data buffer and the demand queue. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is suitably efficient to apply to an environment that can not postulate the stochastic characteristics of the data transfer time and data processing rate.
