Transaction Management for Reliable Grid Applications

Abstract

Transaction management in Grids is responsible for ensuring the reliable execution of inherently distributed Grid applications. Grid transaction management is different from existing distributed transaction models because Grid resources are highly autonomous, dynamic and heterogeneous. This paper proposes a Grid transaction service (GridTS) and coordination algorithms that manage short-lived and longlived Grid transactions respectively, providing reliability support for Grid applications. Unlike existing long-lived transaction models that require application programmers to develop compensating transactions, the GridTS can automatically generate compensating transactions during the execution of long-lived Grid transactions. The feasibility of GridTS and the effectiveness of proposed coordination algorithms are demonstrated through simulation studies.

Balanced task allocation in the on‐demand computing‐based transaction processing system using social spider optimization

“…They combine high‐end computing technologies with high‐performance networking and wide‐area storage management techniques. In this system, the transactions arrive at any node and may execute at several nodes before they commit . Due to dynamic nature of the on‐demand computing system, some nodes add while some nodes leave the system.…”

“…In this system, the transactions arrive at any node and may execute at several nodes before they commit. [18][19][20] Due to dynamic nature of the on-demand computing system, some nodes add while some nodes leave the system. As a result, the waiting time at heavily loaded nodes increases, 21 and therefore, most of the transactions have to face rollback or abort consequences.…”
