-This paper proposes a distributed data replication scheme based on Grass Growing Structure to reduce bandwidth consumption and access latency in distributed systems. The replication will be multicast to the nearest nodes using Depth Limit Search algorithm within a predefined limiting distance. Performance is measured by means of effective network usage and mean job time. The EU Data Grid Testbed is employed as the benchmarking assessment to compare the proposed approach with conventional Centralized and Flooding algorithms. The results yield less access latency, good scalability, and reliability than those comparable approaches.
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.
