On Utilization of the Grid Computing Technology for Video Conversion

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate and perform the recent popular computing technique named Grid Computing executing the video conversion application. We have developed a resource broker called Phantom that runs on grid computing testbed. Phantom resource broker’s main job is to query each computing node of a grid environment about its system information. Later, according to the computing requirement that was had been provided to the user initially, the goal is to find one or more computing sites that best fit to user’s requirements and then re-assign the job, executing this given job in shortest time.
