Data dissemination approaches for performance discovery in grid computing systems

A Grid system can be considered as an infrastructure that allows location independent access to the resources and services that are provided by geographically distributed machines and networks. One fundamental operation necessary to support such a system is performance discovery in wide-area networks. Dissemination of resource status information is an important component of any performance discovery algorithm. The data dissemination for performancediscovery in Grid systems has several distinct features and requirements that can be exploited to make the process efficient. Recently, several data dissemination algorithms based on a new concept called the "Grid potential" were proposed. This paper introduces a new algorithm for data dissemination and compares it with previously introduced schemes through simulation studies. The results indicate that the new algorithm further improves the performance of data dissemination.
