Resource Availability in Enterprise Desktop Grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Desktop grids, which use the idle cycles of many desktop PC’s, are currently the largest distributed systems in the world. Despite the popularity and success of many desktop grid projects, the heterogeneity and volatility of hosts within desktop grids has been poorly understood. Yet, host characterization is essential for accurate simulation and modelling of such platforms. In this paper, we present application-level traces of four real desktop grids that can be used for simulation and modelling purposes. In addition, we describe aggregate and per host statistics that reflect the heterogeneity and volatility of desktop grid resources.

متن کاملQuantifying Machine Availability in Networked and Desktop Grid Systems
In this paper, we examine the problem of predicting machine availability in desktop and enterprise computing environments. Predicting the duration that a machine will run until it restarts (availability duration) is critically useful to application scheduling and resource characterization in federated systems. We describe one parametric model fitting technique and two non-parametric prediction ...
متن کاملComputing the Optimal Makespan for Jobs with Identical and Independent Tasks Scheduled on Volatile Hosts
Desktop grids harvest the cycles of idle workstations to support large-scale computation. As such, these systems are cost-effective platforms for compute-intensive applications. Ongoing Internet-wide projects such as SETI@home and FOLDING@home use hundreds of thousands of PC’s for high-throughput applications. In addition to these public projects, several companies such as Entropia and United D...
متن کاملResource allocation for remote desktop sessions in Utility Grids
Emerging large scale utility computing systems such as Grids promise computing and storage to be provided to end users as a utility. System management services deployed in the middleware are a key to enabling this vision. Utility Grids provide a challenge in terms of scale, dynamism, and heterogeneity of resources and workloads. In this paper, we present a model based architecture for resource ...
متن کاملSZTAKI Desktop Grid – a Hierarchical Desktop Grid System
Desktop grids are an emerging trend in grid computing. Interoperability and resource sharing between different desktop grid projects however is not yet solved. This paper presents an approach of organizing desktop grids in a hierarchy that makes it possible for lower-level desktop grids to acquire work from the higher level if they have spare resources available, thus building large-scale grid ...
