The growth of technology increases user expectations at a fast pace in terms of performance and efficiency of web servers. Such user's expectations are required the number of efficient and dynamic computational resources and mechanism. Several scheduling policies have been already working on multiple web servers, but still web servers get overloaded while the access of resources has been increased. Now-adays, to increase the number of resources gets costly for the organizations so there is a need for an efficient scheduling policy which can optimize the cost of the resources as per the user’s expectation. In this paper, an efficient dynamic load balancing policy based on the activity of the processes has been proposed for reducing the cost of Grid resources and simulated on the Grid-Sim simulator to compare with existing scheduling policies. Therefore, costs of resources have been optimized through the proposed dynamic load balancing policies on web servers.

Abstract


The growth of technology increases user expectations at a fast pace in terms of performance and efficiency of web servers. Such user's expectations are required the number of efficient and dynamic computational resources and mechanism. Several scheduling policies have been already working on multiple web servers, but still web servers get overloaded while the access of resources has been increased. Now-adays, to increase the number of resources gets costly for the organizations so there is a need for an efficient scheduling policy which can optimize the cost of the resources as per the user’s expectation. In this paper, an efficient dynamic load balancing policy based on the activity of the processes has been proposed for reducing the cost of Grid resources and simulated on the Grid-Sim simulator to compare with existing scheduling policies. Therefore, costs of resources have been optimized through the proposed dynamic load balancing policies on web servers.
