This paper presents a discussion about using consistent global checkpoints to synchronize processes of a program of distributed simulation during the rollback procedure, allowing to improve the simulation performance and to carry out a more suitable memory management. A new optimistic protocol is presented as consequence of using consistent global checkpoints.
Cloud Computing is the industry whose demand has been growing continuously since its appearance as a solution that offers different types of computing resources as a service over the Internet. The number of cloud computing providers grows into a run, while the end user is currently in the position of having many pricing options, distinct features and performance for the same required service. This work is inserted in the cloud computing task scheduling research field to hybrid cloud environments with service-oriented architecture (SOA), dynamic allocation and control of services and QoS requirements attendance. Therefore, it is proposed the QBroker Architecture, representing a cloud broker with trading features that implement the intermediation services, defined by the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Model. An experimental design was created in order to demonstrate compliance to the QoS requirement of maximum task execution time, the differentiation of services and dynamic allocation of services. The experimental results obtained by simulation with CloudSim prove that QBroker has the necessary requirements to provide QoS improvement in hybrid cloud computing environments based on SOA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
