Storage Affinity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Storage Affinity is a scheduling heurisitc for loosely coupled data-intensive applications on Grid environments. Storage Affinity was designed at the Laboratório de Sistemas Distribuídos [1] of the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande [2] as part of the OurGrid [3].

The design and performance evaluation was the main focus of Elizeu Santos-Neto's MSc. Thesis [4]. This work was developed under the supervision of Professor Walfredo Cirne [5] ans Francisco "Fubica" Brasileiro [6]. Additionally, Aliandro Lima [7] was a very important collaborator.
