Grid Resource Allocation : Allocation Mechanisms and Utilisation Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grid systems have been put to remarkable use in recent years. Finding planets, rendering multi-million dollar movies, and helping to understand disease are just some of the examples grid systems have been used for. With business turning to towards using grid systems and looking to make them global mechanisms for service delivery, they are nicely poised to be an exciting future prospect. However the performance of a grid system is strongly related to how well grid resource allocation is performed. With many possible approaches to grid resource allocation we have to ask the question, what impact does the choice of resource allocation methodology have on the utilisation and performance of a Grid system? This paper addresses this question through the investigation of the characteristic allocation patterns for three different resource allocation mechanisms and their subsequent effect on resource utilisation within a simulated Grid system.

Co-Allocation with Collective Requests in Grid Systems
We present a new algorithm for resource allocation in large, heterogeneous grids. Its main advantage over existing co-allocation algorithms is that it supports collective requests with partial resource reservation, where the focus is on better grid utilisation. Alongside the requests that must be fulfilled by each resource, a collective request specifies the total amount of a required resource ...
متن کاملPerformance-Based Resource Allocation in Higher Education: A Black Box Containing the Paradox of Increasing Efficiency and Decreasing Productivity
To cope with escalating financial resource limitations from both expanding demands for higher education and experiencing a relatively reduction in public support, higher education units have profoundly adopted a performance-based resource allocation mechanism in recent years. Nevertheless, empirical evaluation findings show that the presumed improvement in performance has not been fulfilled. Us...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Fairness of Grid Resource Allocation Based on Multicommodity Market Model
Fairness is one kind of the requirements in QoS of grid services. It is also important to optimize the allocation of grid resources and keep the overall stability of grid systems. At present, more and more economic models are applied to the grid resource management. In this paper, the fairness of grid resource allocation based on multicommodity market model is studied. Some definitions and crit...
متن کاملUtility-driven Non-Cooperative Game Model of Optimal Resource Allocation for Economic Grid
In grid environment based on economic model, grid users who submit jobs and grid resource providers who provide resources have different motivations. Due to autonomy both in gird users and resource providers, their objectives often conflict. This paper researches grid resource allocation problem by using non-cooperative game theory. Combined with economic grid model, two resource allocation mec...
متن کاملAuction Resource Allocation Mechanisms in Grids of Heterogeneous Computers
This paper examines economic resource allocation through a number of auction types for a grid of ewaste computers. It examines the time to complete tasks and the energy usage of completing the tasks on a grid. A model of a simulated grid is developed and used to evaluate the resource allocation mechanisms. The model is an agent-based simulation where by user agents submit tasks to node agents t...
