Grid computing, a mechanism which uses heterogeneous systems that are geographically distributed, draws attention as a new paradigm for the next generation operation of parallel and distributed computing. The importance of grid computing concerning communication cost is very huge because grid computing furnishes uses with integrated virtual computing service, in which a number of computer systems are connected by a high-speed network. Therefore, to reduce the execution time, the scheduling algorithm in grid environment should take communication cost into consideration as well as computing ability of resources. However, most scheduling algorithms have not only ignored the communication cost by assuming that all tasks were dealt in one cluster, but also did not consider the overhead of communication cost when the tasks were processed in a number of clusters. In this paper, the functions of original scheduling algorithms are analyzed. More importantly, the functions of algorithms are compared and analyzed with consideration of communication cost within the co allocation environment, in which a task is performed separately in many clusters.

Recent advances of technologies make easy sharing various information and utilizing system resources on the Internet. Especially, code migration using applets of Java supports the distribution of programs on the web environment, and also browsers executing the applets guarantee the reliability of a migrated codes. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a web-based parallel processing system, which distributes migratable codes of a large job, makes the distributed codes to execute in parallel, and controls and gathers the results of each execution. The hosts participate in the computation reside on the Internet, spreaded out geographically, and the heterogeneity and the variability among them are severe. Thus, task allocation considering the performance differences and the adaptability to the severe variability are necessary. We present an adaptive task allocation algorithm applied to our system and the performance evaluation.

Given a multi-dimensional dataset of tuples, a skyline query returns a subset of tuples which are not 'dominated' by any other tuples. Skyline query is very useful in Big data analysis since it filters out uninteresting items. Much interest was devoted to the MapReduce-based parallel processing of skyline queries in large-scale distributed environment. There are three requirements to improve parallelism in MapReduced-based algorithms: (1) workload should be well balanced (2) avoid redundant computations (3) Optimize network communication cost. In this paper, we introduce MR-SEAP (MapReduce sample Skyline object Equality Angular Partitioning), an efficient angular space partitioning based skyline query processing using sampling-based pruning, which satisfies requirements above. We conduct an extensive experiment to evaluate MR-SEAP.

The molecular docking system needs a large amount of computation and requires super-computing power. Since the experiment requires a large amount of time, the experiment is conducted in the distributed environment or in the grid environment. Recently, researches on using parallel GPU of far higher performance than that of CPU in scientific computing have been very actively conducted. CUDA is an open technique by which a parallel GPU programming is made possible. This study proposes the molecular docking system using CUDA. It also proposes algorithm that parallels energy-minimizing-computation. To verify such experiments, this study conducted a comparative analysis on the time required for experimenting molecular docking in general CPU and the time and performance of the parallel GPU-based molecular docking which is proposed in this study.

Extending the scale of the distributed processing in a single Ethernet cluster is physically restricted by maximum ports per switch. This paper presents an implementation of MPI-based multicluster consisting of multiple Ethernet switches for extending the scale of distributed processing, and a asymptotical analysis for communication overhead through execution-time analysis model. To determine an optimum task partitioning, we analyzed the processing time for various partitioning schemes, and AAP(accumulator array partitioning) scheme was finally chosen to minimize the overall communication overhead. The scope of data partitioned in AAP was modified to fit for incremented nodes, and suitable load balancing algorithm was implemented. We tried to alleviate the communication overhead through exploiting the pipelined broadcast and flat-tree based result gathering, and overlapping of the communication and the computation time. We used the linear pipeline broadcast to reduce the communication overhead in intercluster which is interconnected by a single link. Experimental results shows nearly linear speedup by the proposed parallel distributed GHT implemented on MPI-based Ethernet multicluster with four 100Mbps Ethernet switches and up to 128 nodes of Pentium PC.

As the use of digital videos is getting popular, there is an increasing demand for efficient browsing and retrieval of video. To support such operations, effective video indexing should be incorporated. One of the most fundamental steps in video indexing is to parse video stream into shots and scenes. Generally, it takes long time to parse a video due to the huge amount of computation in a traditional single computing environment. Previous studies had widely used Round Robin scheduling which basically allocates tasks to each slave for a time interval of one quantum. This scheduling is difficult to adapt in a heterogeneous environment. In this paper, we propose two different parallel parsing algorithms which are Size-Adaptive Round Robin and Dynamic Size-Adaptive Round Robin for the heterogeneous distributed computing environments. In order to show their performance, we perform several experiments and show some of the results.

We present fast QR factorization algorithms $m{\times}n\;(m{\geq}n)$ Toeplitz matrix. These QR factorization algortihms are determined from the shift-invariance properties of underlying matrices. The major transformation tool is a stabilized/hyperbolic Householder transformation. The algortihms require O(mn) operations, and can be easily implemented on distributed-memory multiprocessors.

We consider the problem of placing resources in a distributed computing system so that certain performance requirements may be met while minimizing the number of required resource copies, irrespective of node or link failures. To meet the requirements for high performance and high availability, minimum number of resource copies should be placed in such a way that each node has at least two copies on the node or its neighbor nodes. This is called the fault-tolerant resource placement problem in this paper. The structure of a parallel or a distributed computing system is represented by a graph. The fault-tolerant placement problem is first transformed into the problem of finding the smallest fault-tolerant dominating set in a graph. The dominating set problem is known to be NP-complete. In this paper, searching for the smallest fault-tolerant dominating set is formulated as a state-space search problem, which is then solved optimally with the well-known A* algorithm. To speed up the search, we derive heuristic information by analyzing the properties of fault-tolerant dominating sets. Some experimental results on various regular and random graphs show that the search time can be reduced dramatically using the heuristic information.

Several Iterative methods are considered, Gram-Schmidt algerian for thin orthogonalization and Lanczos methodfor a few extreme eigenvalues. For these methods, a variants of method is derived for which only one synchronization point per on iteration is required; that is one global communication in a message passing distributed-memory machine per one iteration is required The variant is called restructured method, and restructured method has better parallel properties to the conventional method.
