Cooperative Managements of Resources and Applications in Hybrid Systems

Load balancing allows to increase system throughput and to reduce application response time. However, when the computing system increases in scale, load balancing becomes very complex to manage and is time consuming. Moreover, actual load balancing mechanisms are not able to manage heterogeneity both in system architectures and application behaviors. To deal with such systems we propose to split load balancing between environment oriented and application oriented managers. Negotiation between managers allows to manage heterogeneous and large systems, while internal management allows to use the most suitable policy. Then, hybrid applications, using simultaneously diierent programming models can be executed eeciently.
