 | Hello everyone,
The MicroGrid team is pleased to announce the release of MicroGrid
2.4.6. The document and source package is available at
http://csag.ucsd.edu/projects/grid/MGridDownload.html.
The MicroGrid provides online simulation of large-scale network and
Grid resources. By creating a virtual grid environment in which
existing middleware and applications can be run unchanged, detailed
study of complex dynamic behavior such as scaling, failure responses,
and other emergent behavior can be explored.
In the current version, simulation accuracy is improved and some bugs
are fixed. Our experiments show that microgrid can support large-scale
ISP network simulation (20,000+ routers) based on new hierarchical
load-balance approach.
Grid researchers can conduct two types of experiments with microgrid:
(1) normal application without globus. You need relink your application
to the mgrid library.
(2) application based on globus. Besides the application itself, you
also need relink globusrun, globus-gatekeeper and globus-job-manager
(you can do this using the script build_mgrid_globus).
Here are the latest papers about MicroGrid:
(1) Validating and Scaling the MicroGrid: A Scientific Instrument for
Grid Dynamics, Xin Liu, Huaxia Xia, and Andrew Chien, to appear in the
Journal of Grid Computing.
(2) Realistic Large Scale Online Network Simulation, Xin Liu and Andrew
Chien, in the ACM Conference on High Performance Computing and
Networking, SC2004, Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania, November 2004. specific on new load balancing technique>
(3) The MicroGrid: Using Emulation to Predict Application Performance
in Diverse Grid Network Environments, Huaxia Xia, Holly Dail, Henri
Casanova and Andrew Chien, In Proceedings of the Workshop on Challenges
of Large Applications in Distributed Environments (CLADE'04), held in
conjunction with HPDC-13, Honolulu, Hawaii, June 2004. MicroGrid>
