Implementation and Evaluation of Automatic Parallelism Tuning Mechanism for GridFTP in High-Speed and Wide-Area Network

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) GridFTP has been used as a data transfer protocol to effectively
transfer a large volume of data in Grid computing.GridFTP supports
a feature called parallel data transfer that improves
throughput by establishing multiple TCP connections in parallel.
However, in order to achieve high GridFTP throughput, the number of
TCP connections should be optimized based on the network status. We
have proposed an automatic parallelism tuning mechanism called
GridFTP-APT (GridFTP with Automatic Parallelism Tuning) that
adjusts the number of parallel TCP connections only using
information measurable at Grid middleware.In this paper, we first
explain our implementation of GridFTP-APT in the GridFTP client
(globus-url-copy program) included in the Globus Toolkit. We then
investigate the effectiveness of GridFTP-APT in realistic network
environment through several experiments using our GridFTP-APT
implementation and a network emulator. Consequently, we demonstrate
the effectiveness of GridFTP-APT in various network environments.
