Characterization of Resource Availability on PlanetLab Nodes for Executing Migratory Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here the results of our study to monitor and characterize the available resource capacities on PlanetLab nodes for scheduling and dynamic relocation of migratory tasks. The available resource capacities on PlanetLab nodes can fluctuate significantly in a short time, and a node selected to execute a task may become unsuitable for it within a short time ranging from a few minutes to an hour. One way to overcome this problem is relocate the task to another node. This requires identifying the set of nodes that are mostly likely to meet the requirements of the task for a long duration. For this purpose we have developed a system for monitoring a collection of nodes for their available resource capacities. Using this system we have conducted a study to characterize the distribution of the number of nodes that meet a given resource capacity requirement, and the distribution of the duration for which a node satisfies the requirement.

Node Selection for Placement of Migratory Tasks in Wide-Area Shared Computing Environments
In a wide-area shared computing environment such as the PlanetLab the available resource capacities at nodes can fluctuate significantly. A node selected based on its available resource capacities for executing a task may become unsuitable for it within a few minutes or hours timeframe. This motivates the need to find another node and relocate the task. In this paper we present a comparative ev...
متن کاملWorkload and Failure Characterization on a Large-Scale Federated Testbed
Recently, a number of federated distributed computational and communication infrastructures have emerged, including the Grid, PlanetLab, and Content Distribution Networks. In these environments, mutually distrustful autonomous domains pool resources together for their mutual benefit, for instance to gain access to: unique computational resources, multiple vantage points on the network, or more ...
متن کاملA Case for Informed Service Placement on PlanetLab
We examine PlanetLab resource utilization data from the perspective of the designer of a resource discovery system. We are particularly interested in variability of, and correlations among, resource utilization attributes, both among nodes and over time. We find that, for some resources, the quantity available at a fixed time differs significantly across nodes, suggesting a potential benefit to...
متن کاملService Placement in a Shared Wide-Area Platform
Emerging federated computing environments offer attractive platforms to test and deploy global-scale distributed applications. When nodes in these platforms are timeshared among competing applications, available resources vary across nodes and over time. Thus, one open architectural question in such systems is how to map applications to available nodes—that is, how to discover and select resour...
متن کاملAVMEM - Availability-Aware Overlays for Management Operations in Non-cooperative Distributed Systems
Monitoring and management operations that query nodes based on their availability can be extremely useful in a variety of largescale distributed systems containing hundreds to thousands of hosts, e.g., p2p systems, Grids, and PlanetLab. This paper presents decentralized and scalable solutions to a subset of such availability-based management tasks. Specifically, we propose AVMEM, which is the f...
