A Retrospective on ORCA: Open Resource Control Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
ORCA is an extensible platform for building infrastructure servers based on a foundational leasing abstraction. These servers include Aggregate Managers for diverse resource providers and stateful controllers for dynamic slices. ORCA also defines a brokering architecture and control framework to link these servers together into a federated multi-domain deployment. This chapter reviews the architectural principles of ORCA and outlines how they enabled and influenced the design of the ExoGENI Racks deployment, which is built on the ORCA platform. It also sets ORCA in context with the GENI architecture as it has evolved.

At-scale experimentation with resource virtualization in a metro optical testbed
In this paper we describe several efforts to explore integrated approaches to resource virtualization in a metro-scale optical testbed dubbed BEN (Breakable Experimental Network) located in Research Triangle Park, NC. The first one is an extension of work done at Duke on the ORCA (Open Resource Control Architecture) framework. The effort between RENCI and Duke seeks to expand the scope ORCA to ...
متن کاملBeyond Virtual Data Centers: Toward an Open Resource Control Architecture∗
This paper summarizes recent research on networked virtual computing in the NICL lab at Duke. Over the past few years, we have constructed a service-oriented substrate for networked sharing and adaptive middleware environments based on a virtual on-demand computing. The goal of the project is to develop protocols and tools that can link together virtual computing clusters at different sites, an...
متن کاملHealth Signal Generation in the ORCA (Organic Robot Control Architecture) Framework
This paper evaluates various information-theoretical methods for the generation of health signals in the Organic Robot Control Architecture (ORCA). Also a new method based on the joint probability distribution of signals is proposed. The results show that the new method is superior to the known ones for the studied worst-case artificial and real scenarios. As an example for the application of h...
متن کاملReflective Control for an Elastic Cloud Application: An Automated Experiment Workbench
This paper addresses “reflective” control for applications that use server resources from a shared cloud infrastructure opportunistically. In this approach, an external reflective controller launches application functions based on knowledge of what resources are available from the cloud, their cost, and their value to the application through time. As a driving example, we consider reflective co...
