Optimal service task partition and distribution in grid system with star topology

Abstract: The paper considers grid computing systems in which the resource management systems (RMSs) can divide service tasks into execution blocks (EBs) and send these blocks to different resources. In order to provide a desired level of service reliability the RMS can assign the same blocks to several independent resources for parallel (redundant) execution.
