Modelization for the Deployment of a Hierarchical Middleware on a Heterogeneous Platform

چکیده
Accessing the power of distributed resources can nowadays easily be done using a middleware based on a client/server approach. Several architectures exist for those middlewares. The most scalable ones rely on a hierarchical design. Determining the best shape for the hierarchy, the one giving the best throughput of services, is not an easy task. We first propose a computation and communication model for such hierarchical middleware. Our model takes into account the deployment of several services in the hierarchy. Then, based on this model, we propose algorithms for automatically constructing a hierarchy on two kind of heterogeneous platforms: communication homogeneous/computation heterogeneous platforms, and fully heterogeneous platforms. The proposed algorithm aim at offering the users the best obtained to requested throughput ratio, while providing fairness on this ratio for the different kind of services, and using as few resources as possible. For each kind of platforms, we compare our model with experimental results on a real middleware called Diet. Key-words: Hierarchical middleware, Deployment, Modelization, Grid.

Différentes architectures existent pour de tels intergiciels. Ceux passant le mieux à l’échelle utilisent une hiérarchie d’agents. Déterminer quelle est la meilleure hiérarchie, c’est à dire celle qui fournira le meilleur débit au niveau des services, n’est pas une tâche aisée. Nous proposons tout d’abord un modèle de calcul et de communication pour de tels intergiciels hiérarchiques. Notre modèle prend en compte le déploiement de plusieurs services au sein de la hiérarchie. Puis, en nous basant sur le modèle, nous proposons des algorithmes pour construire automatiquement la hiérarchie sur différents types de plates-formes: des plates-formes avec des communications homogènes et des puissances de calcul hétérogènes, ou des plates-formes complètement hétérogènes. Les algorithmes visent à offrir aux utilisateurs le meilleur ratio entre le débit demandé, et le débit fourni, tout en utilisant le moins de ressources possible. Pour chaque type de plate-forme, nous comparons notre modèle à des résultats expérimentaux obtenus avec l’intergiciel de grille Diet.

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...

متن کاملProActive: an Integrated platform for programming and running applications on grids and P2P systems
We propose a grid programming approach using the ProActive middleware. The proposed strategy addresses several grid concerns, which we have classified into three categories. I. Grid Infrastructure which handles the resource acquisition and creation using deployment descriptors and Peer-to-Peer. II. Grid Technical Services which can provide non-functional transparent services like: fault toleran...

متن کاملFrom Distributed Objects to Hierarchical Grid Components
We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. This framework is based on ProActive, a middleware (programming model and environment) for object oriented parallel, mobile, and distributed computing. We have extended ProActive by implementing a hierarchical and dynami...
