Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of accurately estimating the runtime and communication time of a client request in a Network Enabled Server (NES) middleware such as GridSolve. We use a template based model for the runtime estimation and a client-server communication test for the trannsfer time estimation. We implement these two mechanisms in GridSolve and test them on a real testbed. Experiments show that they allow for significant improvement in terms of client execution time on various scenarios.
