An Active Reliable Multicast Framework for the Grids
Résumé
Computational Grids are foreseen to be one of the most critical yet challenging technologies to meet the exponentially growing demands for high-performance computing in a large variety of scientific disciplines. Most of these grid applications imply multiple participants and in many cases make an intensive usage of data distribution and collective opertaions. In this paper, we propose a multicast framework consisting of an active reliable protocol with specialized active services located at the edges of the core network for providing low-latency and low-overhead multicast transfers on computational grid.
