A Cluster Based Job Scheduling Algorithm for Grid Computing

Grid co mputing enables sharing, selection and aggregation of computing resources for solving complex and large-scale scientific problems. The resources making up a grid need to be managed to provide a good quality of service. Grid scheduling is a vital component of a Computational Grid infrastructure. This paper presents a dynamic cluster based job scheduling algorith m for efficient execution of user jobs. This paper also includes the comparative perfo rmance analysis of our proposed job scheduling algorithm along with other well-known job scheduling algorithms considering the parameters like average waiting time, average turnaround time, average response time and average total completion time.
