GridSim Applications (not supported and maintained) :
These applications are running on top of GridSim package.
If you have developed an application or program, and wanted to share it with
other people, please email us. We will put your application into this page.
Task Grouping

A Dynamic Job Grouping-Based
Scheduling for Deploying Applications with Fine-Grained Tasks on Global
Grids, Proc. of the 3rd Australasian Workshop on Grid Computing and
e-Research (AusGrid 2005, Jan 30 - Feb 4, 2005), Newcastle, Australia.
Software Description:
An application that models task scheduling method for coarse-grained Grid
application based on Java development environment. Coarse-grained scheduling
technique will reduce the total time taken to execute the Grid jobs, and
cost involved in job transmissions (transmitting jobs to, and from Grid
resources) in the Grid environment.

Visual Modeler
Publication:
Anthony Sulistio, Chee Shin Yeo, and Rajkumar Buyya,
Visual Modeler for Grid Modelling and
Simulation (GridSim) Toolkit,
Proc. of the 3rd International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2003),
Springer Verlag Publications (LNCS Series), June 2 - 4, 2003, Melbourne, Australia.
Software Description:
A program that generates GridBroker source code.
With VisualModeler, you can specify how many grid users and resources for
your simulation. After finish generating the GridBroker source code, you
can then compile and run the program using the GridBroker jar file provided.

GridBroker
Publication:
Rajkumar Buyya and Manzur Murshed,
GridSim:
A Toolkit for the Modeling and Simulation of Distributed Resource
Management and Scheduling for Grid Computing,
The Journal of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience
(CCPE),
Volume 14, Issue 13-15, Wiley Press, Nov.-Dec., 2002.
Software Description:
An application similar to Nimrod/G that handles users' QoS
(Quality of Service) requirements such as deadline and budget.
A user submits jobs to a broker. The broker then decides which
jobs are submitted to an available resource based on QoS requirements.
NOTE:
You are expected to develop an application
or create a new broker on top of GridSim, instead
of this GridBroker package for your needs.
The paper talks about GridSim (Section 1 - 3) and GridBroker (Section 4
onwards). The architecture presented in the paper has undergone major re-design
since GridSim Toolkit 2.2 (released on 2003).
Hence, the code for GridBroker part only works on GridSim version 2.1 or older.
Moreover, there are no updates or changes on the GridBroker code since
GridSim v2.1. Therefore, the gridbroker.jar file contains classes
from GridSim v2.1 and SimJava v1.2 release.
This application only works on GridSim version 2.1 or older.
DO NOT use gridbroker.jar with the latest version of GridSim.
