Scheduling approaches for protein sequence analysis on the grid

D. Ramyachitra

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Most of the scientific applications requires a coordination of resources to solve their problem. In particular, every day, hundreds and hundreds of protein sequences are deposited in the data banks by the researcher. If a new researcher wants to find a similar protein sequence like the one which he has, an extensive database search is required. If the database is distributed in grid environment, the search becomes easy. In practice, there are a number of schedulers applicable to the grid environment. These schedulers can direct the users query to appropriate resources to find the similar queries. Almost all the schedulers including the optimization techniques lead to load imbalance on the resources. A scheduler has to be designed in such a way that all the resources in the grid environment are balanced. This paper discusses about the protein sequence analysis on the grid, the schedulers available and load balancing in the grid environment.
