Description
Summary:Data Grid is an infrastructure that manages huge amount of data files and provides intensive computational resources across geographically distributed collaboration.To increase resource availability and to ease resource sharing in such environment, there is a need for replication services.Data replication is one of the methods used to improve the performance of data access in distributed systems.In this paper, we propose a dynamic replication strategy that is based on exponential growth or decay rate and dependency level of data files (EXPM).Simulation results (via Optorsim) show that EXPM outperformed LALW in the measured metrics – mean job execution time, effective network usage and average storage usage.
