EA2-IMDG: Efficient Approach of Using an In-Memory Data Grid to Improve the Performance of Replication and Scheduling in Grid Environment Systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach, EA2-IMDG (Efficient Approach of Using an In-Memory Data Grid) to improve the performance of replication and scheduling in grid environment systems. Grid environments are widely used for distributed computing, but they are often faced with the challenge of high data access latency and poor scalability. By utilizing an in-memory data grid (IMDG), the aim is to significantly reduce the data access latency and improve the resource utilization of the system. The approach uses the IMDG to store data in RAM, instead of on disk, allowing for faster data retrieval and processing. The IMDG is used to distribute data across multiple nodes, which helps to reduce the risk of data bottlenecks and improve the scalability of the system. To evaluate the proposed approach, a series of experiments were conducted, and its performance was compared with two baseline approaches: a centralized database and a centralized file system. The results of the experiments show that the EA2-IMDG approach improves the performance of replication and scheduling tasks by up to 90% in terms of data access latency and 50% in terms of resource utilization, respectively. These results suggest that the EA2-IMDG approach is a promising solution for improving the performance of grid environment systems.
