A Novel Economic - Based Approach to Dynamic Load Distribution inLarge

We present a novel concept for resource management and load distribution in large scale distributed computer networks that is based on market mechanisms in an evolutionary computational service economy. The Dynasty II system implements a market and communication infrastructure along with price nding and scalable brokering mechanisms for regulating and matching supply and demand of the various classes of distributed resources and services. We illustrate this concept and evaluate the system performance by a data-parallel numerical application on a testbed of 96 RISC workstations.
