Locust - A Brokerage System for Accessing Idle Ressources for Web-Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a brokerage system for making idle cpu ressources of anonymous users of the World Wide Web accessble for distributed Web-Computing. The Locust (LOw cost Computing Utilizing Skimmed idle Time) Broker collects and remarkets the aggregated ressources by means of ubiquitious Web and Java technologies and creates an electronic spot market focused on the mainstream Internet user as suppliers of idle computing ressources. We introduce the economic Price/Market model of Locust enabling the export or import of resource surpluses or lacks between so-called submarkets. Test cases for consumption of aggregated CPU ressources include distributed Raytracing and RC5 decryption. We further describe the RC5 key block management and our efforts to reach performance comparable to native RC5 implementations.

Idle Computing Resources as Micro-Currencies - Bartering CPU Time for Online Content
In this paper we present a brokerage system for using idle computing resources as a micro-currency for Web services hardly quantifyable with real currencies as downloading stock charts or accessing a search engine. The Locust (LOw cost Computing Utilizing Skimmed idle Time) system acts as a Broker for micro-payable services by demanding a part of the user’s idle computing resources in exchange ...
متن کاملDistributed Rc5 Decryption as a Consumer for Idle-time Brokerage
RSA Data Security, Inc. is sponsoring contests to prove the (in-)security of miscellaneous cryptographic algorithms as DES or RC5. We have joined RSA’s RC5 contest by combining idle CPU power from users visiting a web site. Via an embedded Java RC5 applet down-loading and testing RC5 keys from the web server it was originating from, visitors can participate and donate idle CPU cycles without ha...
متن کاملData Replication-Based Scheduling in Cloud Computing Environment
Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...
متن کاملOptimal Idle Speed Control of a Natural Aspirated Gasoline Engine Using Bio-inspired Meta- heuristic Algorithms
In order to lowering level of emissions of internal combustion engines (ICEs), they should be optimally controlled. However, ICEs operate under numerous operating conditions, which in turn makes it difficult to design controller for such nonlinear systems. In this article, a generalized unique controller for idle speed control under whole loading conditions is designed. In the current study, in...
متن کاملLoad Balancing Approaches for Web Servers: A Survey of Recent Trends
Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...
