摘要
Grid computing collects geographically dispersed resources ranging from laptops to supercomputers to compute tasks requested by clients. Grid scheduling, i.e., assigning tasks to resources, is an NP-hard problem, and thus, metaheuristic methods are employed to find the optimal solutions. In this paper, we propose a Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO) algorithm for the grid scheduling problem. CRO is a population-based metaheuristics mimicking the interactions between molecules in a chemical reaction. We compare the CRO approach with four generally acknowledged metaheuristics, and show that CRO performs the best.
