JCOM_V4_N2_A1 Neeraj Rathore Journal on Computer Science 2347–6141 4 2 1 5 GridSim, Alchemi.NET, Checkpointing, Fault-Tolerance, Grid The Grid is an increasingly growing virtualization and distribution environment for sharing the resources. This situation imposes greater demands on many techniques, i.e, Load balancing, securities, etc., and fault-tolerance capabilities are one of the demanding criteria. In the fault tolerance mechanisms, different types of schemes and techniques are there, which are beneficial to make the Grid fault tolerant. Checkpointing is one of the methods of fault tolerance. Till now, many middleware/Software in the Grid/Cloud environment is not fully fault tolerant. Different middleware has different levels of fault tolerance. Some of the middleware like Alchemi.NET does not have a robust fault tolerance mechanism. Therefore, in this research work Alchemi.NET has been chosen and a scenario of the checkpointing algorithm has been shown to tolerate the fault in the Grid. The main objective of the paper is to know the installation/computation step of Alchemi.NET for simulation in the field of Grid. June - August 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
