Abstract
The key purpose of computational grid is how to allocate grid resources to grid applications effectively. Existing resource management models with centralized architecture like GRAM and nimrod-G broker are liable to generate communication overheads and bottleneck. Therefore, we propose the service agent-based resource management model using virtuali-zation for computational grid. Virtualization and agent-based system applied to our model is able to improve load imbalance of grid broker and reduce communication overheads. Experiment results demonstrate that the service agent-based resource management model decreases 25.8% more job latencies and 151.6% more communication messages than the centralized resource management model.
