4.2.5 Experiment 4: Parallel Execution on the Grid Computing Environment<br />

The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the influence of the grid computing<br />

environment to the resultant solutions.<br />

The experiment tests three different models. The first model uses a single<br />

machine to per<strong>for</strong>m the centralized course scheduling strategy as introduced in section<br />

3.4.1. The centralized course scheduling program is used to test a centralized<br />

execution that schedules <strong>for</strong> all courses. The second model also uses a single machine,<br />

but both the centralized course scheduling program and the decentralized course<br />

scheduling program are used <strong>for</strong> a serial execution. First, the centralized course<br />

scheduling program schedules <strong>for</strong> all shared resources, and then one after another the<br />

decentralized course scheduling program schedules <strong>for</strong> the remaining resources of<br />

each faculty. Finally, the third model uses a grid computing environment <strong>for</strong> parallel<br />

execution. First, the centralized course scheduling program is executed on a machine,<br />

and then the decentralized course scheduling program is executed in parallel on<br />

remote machines.<br />

Both the centralized course scheduling program and the decentralized course<br />

scheduling program will set up with the following GA settings:
