Study on Scheduling Strategy for Global Computing Application

In the applications of global computing like SETI@home, the scheduling problem of computation components is an important issue to improve the performance. In this paper, we propose a theoretical model of global computing application concerning the scheduling of computation components. Based on the model, we evaluate the performance of different scheduling mechanisms to choose a proper scheduling strategy for the application according to the corresponding network environment and computing resources. Finally we make the comparisons among different scheduling strategies and suggestions to improve the performance of the application
