CHAPTER-6 EXPERIMENT RESULT 6.1 System Model For experimental purposes we assume that total 5000 jobs will be scheduled on the grid consists of 7 clusters. In general, each resource/cluster contains 80 computing nodes (Machines), and each computing node contains 1 Processing Elements (PE). The processors of computing nodes in different resources have same processing power (i.e. 1GHz). Every computing node consist RAM of 53GB approx. Network speeds among the computing node are also assumed
