Today many computing resources distributed geographically are idle much of time. The aim of the grid computing is collecting these resources into a single system. It helps to solve problems that are too complex for a single PC. Scheduling plays a critical role in the efficient and effective management of resources to achieve high performance on grid computing environment. Due to the heterogeneity and highly dynamic nature of grid, developing scheduling algorithms for grid computing involves some challenges. In this work, we concentrate on efficient scheduling of distributed tasks on grid. We propose a novel scheduling heuristic for bag-of-tasks applications. The proposed algorithm primarily makes use of history based runtime estimation. The history stores information about the applications whose runtimes and other specific properties are recorded during the previous executions. Scheduling decisions are made according to similarity between the applications. Definition of similarity is an important aspect of this approach, apart from the best resource allocation. The aim of this scheduling algorithm (HISA-History Injected Scheduling Algorithm) is to define and find the similarity, and assign the job to the most suitable resource, making use of the similarity. In our evaluation, we use Grid simulation tool called GridSim. A number of intensive experiments with various simulation settings have been conducted. Based on the experimental results, the effectiveness of HISA scheduling heuristic is studied and compared to the other scheduling algorithms embedded in GridSim. The results show that history injection improves the performance of future job submissions on a grid.

Resource-aware load balancing system with artificial neural networks Yıldız, Ali; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) As the distributed systems becomes popular, efficient load balancing systems taking better decisions must be designed. The most important reasons that necessitate load balancing in a distributed system are the heterogeneous hosts having different com- puting powers, external loads and the tasks running on different hosts but communi- cating with each other. In this thesis, a load balancing approach, called RALBANN, developed using graph partitioning and artificial neural networks (ANNs) is de- scribed. The ...
Scalar multiplication on elliptic curves Yayla, Oğuz; Akyıldız, Ersan; Department of Cryptography (2006) Elliptic curve cryptography has gained much popularity in the past decade and has been challenging the dominant RSA/DSA systems today. This is mainly due to elliptic curves offer cryptographic systems with higher speed, less memory and smaller key sizes than older ones. Among the various arithmetic operations required in implementing public key cryptographic algorithms based on elliptic curves, the elliptic curve scalar multiplication has probably received the maximum attention from the research community i...
Sequential and parallel heuristic algorithms for the rectilinear Steiner tree problem Cinel, Sertaç; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) The Steiner Tree problem is one of the most popular graph problems and has many application areas. The rectilinear version of this problem, introduced by Hanan, has taken special attention since it addresses a fundamental matter in “Physical Design” phase of the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) Computer Aided Design (CAD) process. The Rectilinear Steiner Tree Problem asks for a minimum length tree that interconnects a given set of points by only horizontal and vertical line segments, enabling the use of e...
Parallel Scalable PDE Constrained Optimization Antenna Identification in Hyperthermia Cancer Treatment Planning SCHENK, Olaf; Manguoğlu, Murat; CHRİSTEN, Matthias; SATHE, Madan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-01-01) We present a PDE-constrained optimization algorithm which is designed for parallel scalability on distributed-memory architectures with thousands of cores. The method is based on a line-search interior-point algorithm for large-scale continuous optimization, it is matrix-free in that it does not require the factorization of derivative matrices. Instead, it uses a new parallel and robust iterative linear solver on distributed-memory architectures. We will show almost linear parallel scalability results for t...
Semantic service discovery with heuristic relevance calculation Özyönüm, Müge; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a semantically aided web service and restful service search mechanism is presented that makes use of an ontology. The mechanism relates method names, input and output parameters for ontology guided matches and offers results with varying relevance corresponding to the matching degree. The mechanism is demonstrated using an experimental domain that is tourism and travel. An ontology is created to support a set of web services that exist in this domain.
