Monitoring and information services form a key component of a distributed system, or Grid. A quantitative study of such services can aid in understanding the performance limitations, advise in the deployment of the monitoring system, and help evaluate future development work. To this end, we study the performance of three monitoring and information services for distributed systems: the Globus Toolkit® Monitoring and Discovery Service (MDS2), the European Data Grid Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA) and Hawkeye, part of the Condor project. We perform experiments to test their scalability with respect to number of users, number of resources and amount of data collected. Our study shows that each approach has different behaviors, often due to their different design goals. In the four sets ofexperiments we conducted to evaluate the performance of the service components under different circumstances, we found a strong advantage to caching or pre-fetching the data, as well as the need to have primary components at well-connected sites because of the high load seen by all systems.
