Scalable Grid-wide capacity allocation with the SweGrid Accounting System (SGAS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SweGrid Accounting System (SGAS) allocates capacity in collaborative Grid environments by coordinating enforcement of Grid-wide usage limits as a means to offer usage guarantees and prevent overuse. SGAS employs a credit-based allocation model where Grid capacity is granted to projects via Grid-wide quota allowances that can be spent across the Grid resources. The resources collectively enforce these allowances in a soft, real-time manner.

Capacity Allocation Mechanisms for Grid Environments
During the past decade, Grid computing has gained popularity as a means to build powerful computing infrastructures by aggregating distributed computing capacity. Grid technology allows computing resources that belong to different organizations to be integrated into a single unified system image – a Grid. As such, Grid technology constitutes a key enabler of large-scale, crossorganizational sha...
متن کاملA Service-Oriented Approach to Enforce Grid Resource Allocations
We present the SweGrid Accounting System (SGAS) — a decentralized and standardsbased system for Grid resource allocation enforcement that has been developed with an emphasis on a uniform data model and easy integration into existing scheduling and workload management software. The system has been tested at the six high-performance computing centers comprising the SweGrid computational resource,...
متن کاملManaging Service Levels in Grid Computing Systems Quota Policy and Computational Market Approaches
We study techniques to enforce and provision differentiated service levels in Computational Grid systems. The Grid offers simplified provisioning of peak-capacity for applications with computational requirements beyond local machines and clusters, by sharing resources across organizational boundaries. Current systems have focussed on access control, i.e., managing who is allowed to run applicat...
متن کاملAccounting in Grid Environments
This thesis proposes an accounting system architecture suitable for Grid environments. Furthermore, the design and implementation of a proof-ofconcept accounting system prototype, based on the proposed architecture, is presented. The prototype has been developed to satisfy the accounting needs of SweGrid, a Swedish national Grid. The accounting system leverages state-of-the-art Grid and Web Ser...
متن کاملService Level Agreement Requirements of an Accounting-Driven Computational Grid
In this paper we present the requirements of a national computing Grid. In particular we discuss the issues involved in managing complex policies of multiple stakeholders in such a large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous Grid. We also propose a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and agent-based architecture to address these issues. This work is a continuation of the work performed and experiences ga...
