Scalable Desktop Grid System1

چکیده
Desktop grids are easy to install on large number of personal computers, which is a prerequisite for the spread of grid technology. Current desktop grids connect all PCs into a flat hierarchy, that is, all computers to a central server. SZTAKI Desktop Grid starts from a standalone desktop grid, as a building block. It is extended to include clusters as single powerful PCs, while using their local resource management system. Such building blocks support overtaking additional tasks from other desktop grids, enabling the set-up of a hierarchy. Desktop grids with different owners thus can share resources, although only in a hierarchical structure. This brings desktop grids closer to other grid technologies where sharing resources by several users is the most important feature.

متن کاملSztaki Desktop Grid: Building a Scalable, Secure Platform for Desktop Grid Computing
The Desktop Grid model harvests unused CPU cycles of connected computers. In this report we present a concept how separate Desktop Grids can be used as building blocks for larger scale grids by organizing them in a hierarchical tree. We present a prototype implementation and show the challenges and security considerations we discovered. We describe methods and give solutions for enhanced securi...
متن کاملResource Discovery Techniques in Distributed Desktop Grid Environments
Desktop grids use opportunistic sharing to exploit large collections of personal computers and workstations across the Internet, achieving tremendous computing power at low cost. Traditional desktop grid systems are typically based on a clientserver architecture, which has inherent shortcomings with respect to robustness, reliability and scalability. In this paper, we propose a decentralized, r...
متن کاملGreen Desktop-Grids: Scientific Impact, Carbon Footprint, Power Usage Efficiency
Desktop Grids take their place in the e-Science distributed computing infrastructure scaling into the millions of PCs. Desktop-Grids collect CPU cycles from PCs contributed by donors, by volunteers who are willing to support science and research. The Green key advantage of Desktop-Grids over service Grids and data centers based on clusters of servers is the minimal heat density. Compute Cluster...
متن کاملA Self-Organising Federation of Alchemi Desktop Grids
Desktop grids presents a next generation platform for aggregating the idle processing cycles of desktop computers. However, in order to efficiently harness the power of millions of desktop computers, the systems or middlewares that can support high level of efficiency, scalability, robustness and manageability are required. In this paper, we propose a scalable and self-organising desktop grid s...
