Performance enhancement is one of the most important issues in high performance distributed computing systems. In such computing systems, online users submit their jobs anytime and anywhere to a set of dynamic resources. Jobs arrival and processes execution times are stochastic. The performance of a distributed computing system can be improved by using an effective load balancing strategy to redistribute the user tasks among computing resources for efficient utilization. This paper presents a multi-class load balancing strategy that balances different classes of user tasks on multiple heterogeneous computing nodes to minimize the per-class mean response time. For a wide range of system parameters, the performance of the proposed multi-class load balancing strategy is compared with that of the random distribution load balancing, and uniform distribution load balancing strategies using simulation. The results show that, the proposed strategy outperforms the other two studied strategies in terms of average task response time, and average computing nodes utilization.

본 논문에서는 현재 생물정보학 연구에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 BLAST의 문제점을 분석하고 이에 따른 해결책을 제시하기 위하여 그리드 컴퓨팅을 이용한 G-BLAST(Grid Computing을 이용한 Basic Local Alignment Search Tool)를 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 G-BLAST을 이용한 시스템은 이기종 분산 환경에서 수행이 가능한 서열분석 통합 소프트웨어 패키지이며 기존 서열분석 서비스의 취약점인 검색 성능을 개선하여 BLAST 검색 기능을 강화 하였다. 또한, BLAST 결과를 사용자가 관리 및 분석이 용이하도록 데이터베이스 및 유전체 서열분석 서비스 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 G-BLAST시스템의 성능확인을 위하여 병렬컴퓨팅 성능테스트 기법을 도입하여 구현된 시스템을 기존 BLAST와 속도 및 효율부분에서 비교하여 성능개선을 확인하였으며 서열결과 분석에 필요한 자료를 사용자관점에서 제공해주고 있다.

Distributed object Computing, owing to the development of distributed computing, has improved the performance of distributed processing conducted between homogeneous and heterogeneous systems in network. However, it has failed to solve fundamental problems such as network overload and enormous requests demands by servers and clients. In this paper, we propose to design and implement an Object Migration system that uses the java language to tackle the mentioned problems. As the first step of the implementation of the system, we justify the characteristics of t도 mobile object model that keeps codes and states of an object. Implemented Object Migration System would accept objects being migrated to a specific node and support the virtual place in which objects could be executed automatically. Therefore, the Object Migration system we suggest could not only solve problems imposed to traditional distributed computing but also offer transparency of object migration between homogeneous and heterogeneous systems.

The advance of computer, network, and Internet technology enables the control systems to process the massive data in the distributed computing environments. To implement and maintain the software in distributed environment, the component-based methodology is widely used. This paper proposes the middleware architecture for the distributed computer control system. With the proposed middleware services, it is relatively easy to maintain compatibility between products and to implement a portable control application. To achieve the compatibility between heterogeneous systems, the proposed architecture provides the communication protocols based on the XML with lightweight event-based service.

Parallel computing system components should be harmonized, and this harmonization is kept existent using synchronization time. Synchronization time affects the system in two ways. First, if we have too little synchronization time, some tasks face the problem of harmonization, as they need appropriate time to update and synchronize with the system. Second, if we allocate a large amount of time, stall system created. Random allocation of synchronization time for parallel systems slows down not only the booting time of the system but also the execution time of each application involved in the system. This paper presents a simulator used to test and allocate appropriate synchronization time for distributed and parallel heterogeneous systems. The simulator creates the parallel and heterogeneous system to be evaluated, and lets the user vary the synchronization time to optimize the booting time. NS3-cGEM5 simulator in this paper is formed by HLA-RTI federation integration of the two independent architecture and network simulators - NS3 and cGEM5. Therefore, nodes created on these simulators need synchronizations for harmonized system performance. We tested and allocated the appropriate synchronization time for our sample parallel system composed of one x86 server and three ARM clients.

분산 컴퓨팅 기술과 객체지향 기술의 발전은 인터넷상의 동일 기종간의 분산처리뿐만 아니라, 이 기종간에도 분산 컴퓨팅이 가능한 분산 객체 컴퓨팅으로 발전되었다. 이를 대표하는 CORBA(Comm on Object Request Broker Architecture)도 단지 네트워크를 통한 이기종간의 상호 운용성만을 해결한 상태이며, 대부분 서버 객체의 존재 및 정상적인 활동이 보장되지만 네트워크 오버헤드가 발생하는 경우에는 클라이언트의 서비스 요구에 응할 수 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방안 중 하나로, 데이터와 코드를 결합한 객체를 직접 이동하는 이동에이전트(Mobile Agent)를 분산 컴퓨팅 기술과 결합하는 방법이 대두되고 있다.

이기종 컴퓨팅 환경에서 방향성 비순환 그래프(directed acyclic graph DAG)의 효율적인 스케줄링은 시스템의 성능을 높게 만드는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이기종의 컴퓨팅 환경에서 DAG로 표현되는 프로그램의 최적 스케줄링 방법을 찾는 것은 잘 알려진 '정해진 시간 내에 해결하기 어려운 문제(NP-complete)' 이다. 본 논문은 분산 이기종 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 병렬로 실행 가능한 프로그램을 위한 새로운 리스트 스케줄링 알고리즘인 HRPS(Heterogeneous Rank-Path Scheduling)를 제안하였다. HRPS의 가장 궁극적인 목적은 프로그램의 실행시간을 최소화하는 것이다. 알고리즘의 성능을 위해 DAG 입력 그래프를 이용하여 기존에 제안되어진 CPOP, HCPT, FLB 알고리즘과 스케줄의 길이를 비교한 결과 성능 향상의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The design and development of a Web-based Workflow Management System (WfMS) is described in this paper. WfMSs are employed by many organizations to manage their business processes efficiently. The goal of this research is to provide an effective management of design processes in a distributed and heterogeneous environment-an environment in which workflow participants are geographically dispersed and use different computing platforms. We identify the requirements of WfMSs for the distributed and heterogeneous environment. We present an approach to applying the Web technology to was. The developed system is composed of three main modules: Worflow Engine, Web-based clients, and Process Designer. The workflow engine is implemented in pure Java for portability to heterogeneous platforms. furthermore, the client interfaces are all programmed using applets, and thus they can be readily accessed through the Internet/intranet. The Process Designer provides a build-time function of generating process specifications. Some important functions of the developed system are explained in this paper. A prototype system has been developed and applied to design processes. The system allows effective cooperation among designers who may be geographically separated.

Heterogeneous computing is a technology that utilizes different types of processors to perform parallel processing. It maximizes task processing and energy efficiency by leveraging various computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. On the other hand, edge computing has developed with IoT and 5G technologies. It is a distributed computing that utilizes computing resources close to clients, thereby offloading the central server. It has evolved to intelligent edge computing combined with artificial intelligence. Intelligent edge computing enables total data processing, such as context awareness, prediction, control, and simple processing for the data collected on the edge. If heterogeneous computing can be successfully applied in the edge, it is expected to maximize job processing efficiency while minimizing dependence on the central server. In this paper, experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of various parallel programming models on high-end and low-end edge devices by using benchmark applications. We analyzed the performance of five parallel programming models on the Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Orin Nano as low-end and high-end devices, respectively. In the experiment, OpenACC showed the best performance on the low-end edge device and OpenSYCL on the high-end device due to the stability and optimization of system libraries.
