Risk Aware Overbooking for Commercial Grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The commercial exploitation of the emerging Grid and Cloud markets needs SLAs to sell computing run times. Job traces show that users have a limited ability to estimate the resource needs of their applications. This offers the possibility to apply overbooking to negotiation, but overbooking increases the risk of SLA violations. This work presents an overbooking approach with an integrated risk assessment model. Simulations for this model, which are based on real-world job traces, show that overbooking offers significant opportunities for Grid and Cloud providers.

Overbooking in Planning Based Scheduling Systems
Nowadays cluster Grids encompass many cluster systems with possible thousands of nodes and processors, offering compute power that was inconceivable only a few years ago. For attracting commercial users to use these environments, the resource management systems (RMS) have to be able to negotiate on Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which are defining all service quality requirements of such a jo...
متن کاملIncreasing Operating Room Profits and Decreasing Wait Lists by Use of a Data-Driven Overbooking Model
Background and Objectives: Operating rooms (ORs) are precious resources in hospitals, as they constitute more than 40% of the hospital revenues.As such, surgical cancellations are very costly to hospitals. Same-day surgery cancellations or no-shows were found to be the main contributing factor to underutilization of operating rooms (ORs) in a public-sector hospital despite the ...
متن کاملThe Gain of Overbooking
This paper analyzes the effect of overbooking for scheduling systems in a commercial environment. In this scenario each job is associated with a release time and a finishing deadline as well as a fee for a successful execution and a penalty for violating the deadline. The core idea is to exploit overestimations of required job execution times, providing an opportunity to aggressively schedule a...
متن کاملRisk-averse decision making in overbooking problem
Huachun Xiong, Jinxing Xie, Xiaoxue Deng Department of Mathematical Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Abstract Traditional literature studying overbooking problems focuses on risk-neutral decision makers. In this paper, we propose a multi-period overbooking model incorporating risk-aversion and extend well-known structural results (the 3-region policy) under the risk-neutral ...
متن کاملA Performance Interference-aware Virtual Machine Placement Strategy for Supporting Soft Real-time Applications in the Cloud
It is a standard practice for cloud service providers (CSPs) to overbook physical system resources to maximize the resource utilization and make their business model more profitable. Resource overbooking can, however, lead to performance interference between the virtual machines (VMs) hosted on the physical resources thereby causing performance unpredictability for applications hosted in the VM...
