Titre / Title: Program and File Allocation Algorithm for Large Scale Distributed Systems
Abstract : The need for resources sharing increases with the extension of distributed systems. Traditional file management is not adapted to very large scale distributed systems and thus may place a heavy burden on critical resources such as file servers and networks. We describe in this paper a file management scheme in a perspective of distributed programs placement in large scale distributed systems. Our approach consists to choose both the programs executions machines and files locations. The first step selects a sub-network in the system that reduces the total cost of the accessed files. In the second step, for each used remote file, our algorithm chooses between remote accesses or file migration, in order to reduce the inter-network overhead for the highly acceded files. This research is conducted in the scope of the Gatos project which provides an environment for parallel and distributed applications management.
