Accounting of Grid resource and service usage determines the central support activity for Grid systems to be adopted as a
means for service-oriented computing in Dynamic Virtual Organizations (DVO). An all-embracing study of existing Grid accounting
systems has revealed that these approaches focus primarily on technical precision, while they lack a foundation of appropriate
economic accounting principles and the support for multi-provider scenarios or virtualization concepts. Consequently, a new,
flexible, resource-based accounting model for DVOs was developed, combining technical and economic accounting by means of
Activity-based Costing. Driven by a functional evaluation, this paper pursues a full-fledged evaluation of the new, generically
applicable Grid accounting model. This is done for the specific environment of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in
Garching, Germany. Thus, a detailed evaluation methodology and evaluation environment is outlined, leading to actual model-based
cost calculations for a defined set of considered Grid services. The results gained are analyzed and respective conclusions
on model applicability, optimizations, and further extensions are drawn. |
