Tanya Prashar, Nancy, Dinesh Kumar . Fault Tolerant ACO using Checkpoint in Grid Computing. International Journal of Computer Applications. 98, 10 ( July 2014), 44-49. DOI=10.5120/17223-7465
This paper proposed an algorithm for fault tolerant distributed computation in a grid by the means of meta-heuristic Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique and Check-Pointing. Load Balancing is the process of distributing the workload among the nodes in a grid. The load can be CPU cycles, memory capacity or network load. Due to the emerging computing methodology of grid computing over the heterogeneous environment there is a need of hybrid fault tolerant load balancing technique which takes into account the grid scenario including computer heterogeneity, network bandwidth and communication delay.
