Abstract

The architecture proposed in "A Novel Grid Middleware" is a light weight, easy to implement and an open grid computing architecture in terms of allowing organizational/personal computing resources to participate in the grid when their computing resources are free. The architecture was based on allocation, distribution and execution of the threads in the grid. The current architecture does not have a solution on the high availability of the grid. This research is an extension to the earlier proposed architecture [1] and will make the architecture to answer the real world problems of high availability and will make it an implementable solution. This research is providing solution to the scenarios that how can threads based grid can ensure high availability in case threads are lost during their execution or the resources of the grid becomes unavailable for any reasons. This research provided the architecture design on introduce high availability in the threads based grid so that in case at any point of time a thread has stopped responding, how the redundant thread can be made available to ensure continues execution of the grid based application.
