Abstract Computational grid is a pool of computational resources that is used by various organizations for storage purposes and execution of a large number of tasks. Load balancing and energy consumption are two core performance parameters in the computational grid. Since, performance of a computational grid is highly dependable to variations in load and energy consumption, therefore, it is important to pay attention to these aspects in grid. Therefore, we proposed an energy‐aware dynamic load balancing strategy for tasks scheduling in grid referred to as dynamic energy efficient load balancing strategy (DEEL) for computational grid. DEEL combined energy efficiency and load balancing paradigms in order to improve the utilization and reduce the energy consumption of resources. Simulations were performed by using GridSim. Simulation results were compared with published strategy IEGDC with respect to performance indices: finished gridlets, unfinished gridlets, resubmitted times, and response time. The simulation results were evaluated through performance metrics that is, (a) cost, (b) energy consumption, and (c) energy saved. As per simulation results, DEEL outperformed the published method IEGDC by reducing the execution time of finished gridlets up to 28%, minimizing the execution and resource cost up to 35%, and saving the energy consumption up to 38%.

Similar neural network models based on single sequence and evolutionary profiles of residues have been successfully used in the past for predicting secondary structure, solvent accessibility, protein-, DNA- and carbohydrate- binding sites. ATP is a ubiquitous ligand in all living-systems, involved in most biological functions requiring energy and charge transfer. Prediction of ATP-binding site from single sequences and their evolutionary profiles at a high throughput rate can be used at genomic level as well as quick clues for site-directed mutagenesis experiments. We have developed a method for such predictions to demonstrate yet another application of sequence-base prediction algorithms using neural networks. This method can achieve 81% sensitivity and 69% specificity which are mutually adjustable in a wide range on a three-fold cross-validation data set.
