The overhead of processing fine-grain tasks on a grid induces the need for batch or task group deployment in order to minimise overall application turnaround time. When deciding granularity batch, requirements each should be considered as well utilisation constraints interconnecting network and designated resources. However, dynamic nature requires size adaptable latest status. In this paper, we describe policies specific techniques involved resizing process. We explain nuts bolts these maximise resulting benefits processing. conduct experiments determine response real environment. are further investigated highlight important parameters obtaining appropriate resource.
