Performance Evaluation of Scheduling Schemes for a Genomic Application on OBIGrid

摘要

Heuristic scheduling schemes for the genomic application InterProScan are implemented, and these scheduling schemes are evaluated on OBIGrid (Open Bioinformat-ics Grid), which is an experimental Grid for bioinformatics being developed by Japan Committees. This paper presents the implementation details of the scheduling schemes and compares their mean response times. The mean response time of an Adaptive scheme, which uses the information of the application program and the processor, is smaller than that of other schemes for all load levels.
