چکیده
Considering dynamic, heterogeneous and autonomous characteristics of computing resources in grid computing systems and the flexibility and effectivity of economics methods applied to solve the problem of resource management, a double auction mechanism for resource allocation on grid computing systems is presented. Firstly, a market model of double auction is described, in which agents are utilized to represent the computational resource traders in the grid environment and are equipped with the reinforcement learning algorithm. Secondly, a double auction mechanism is presented, where the uniform-price auction is adopted aiming at CPU resources, and the transaction fee can be adjusted flexibly. Finally, the efficiency of the presented double auction mechanism is analyzed through experiments, and experimental results show that the presented mechanism is efficient, and the transaction price varies mildly.

Auction 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...
متن کاملA Pricing Mechanism for Resource Management in Grid Computing
We consider the problem of efficient resource allocation in a grid computing environment. Grid computing is an emerging paradigm that allows the sharing of a large number of a heterogeneous set of resources. We propose an auction mechanism for decentralized resource allocation. The problem is modeled as a multistage stochastic programming problem. Convergence of the auction allocations to the s...
متن کاملMulti-attribute Reverse Auction-based Protocol for Resource Allocation in Grids
Auction models are found efficient in managing resources allocation, which is a key technology in grid computing system. In this paper, a new reverse auction approach is proposed, and its mechanism and related auction algorithm are designed. In our approach, the grid trading service, i.e., an intelligent entity, uses this auction algorithm to estimate the resource user’s satisfaction degree and...
متن کاملA Greedy Double Auction Mechanism for Grid Resource Allocation
To improve the resource utilization and satisfy more users, a Greedy Double Auction Mechanism(GDAM) is proposed to allocate resources in grid environments. GDAM trades resources at discriminatory price instead of uniform price, reflecting the variance in requirements for profits and quantities. Moreover, GDAM applies different auction rules to different cases, over-demand, over-supply and equil...
متن کاملCombinatorial Double Auction-based Scheme for Resource Allocation in Grids
Offering Grid services in an open market determines an optimization case for finding the best suitable resource allocation for a given number of requests and existing resources. Thus, appropriate resource allocation schemes, supporting accounting, are required in addition to a pricing scheme, which supports financial fairness criteria. The newly developed Resource Allocation Model Developed for...
