Design and Evaluation of Dynamic Replication Strategies for a High-Performance Data Grid

TLDR
A simulation framework that is developed to model a grid scenario, which enables comparative studies of alternative dynamic replication strategies for three different kinds of access patterns, and shows that the best strategy has significant savings in latency and bandwidth consumption if the access patterns contain a moderate amount of geographical locality.
Abstract
Physics experiments that generate large amounts of data need to be able to share it with researchers around the world. High performance grids facilitate the distribution of such data to geographically remote places. Dynamic replication can be used as a technique to reduce bandwidth consumption and access latency in accessing these huge amounts of data. We describe a simulation framework that we have developed to model a grid scenario, which enables comparative studies of alternative dynamic replication strategies. We present preliminary results obtained with this simulator, in which we evaluate the performance of six different replication strategies for three different kinds of access patterns. The simulation results show that the best strategy has significant savings in latency and bandwidth consumption if the access patterns contain a moderate amount of geographical locality.

Minimizing data access latency in data grids by neighborhood‐based data replication and job scheduling

TL;DR: Two new neighborhood‐based job scheduling strategies and a novel neighborhood-based dynamic data replication algorithm (NDDR) are proposed that reduce the access latency by considering a variety of practical parameters for decision making and the access delay by considering the failure probability of a node in job scheduling, replica selection, and replica placement.

Summary cache: a scalable wide-area web cache sharing protocol

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the benefits of cache sharing, measures the overhead of the existing protocols, and proposes a new protocol called "summary cache", which reduces the number of intercache protocol messages, reduces the bandwidth consumption, and eliminates 30% to 95% of the protocol CPU overhead, all while maintaining almost the same cache hit ratios as ICP.

Summary cache: a scalable wide-area Web cache sharing protocol

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new protocol called "Summary Cache"; each proxy keeps a summary of the URLs of cached documents of each participating proxy and checks these summaries for potential hits before sending any queries, which enables cache sharing among a large number of proxies.
