Title
Distributed meta-scheduling for grids
Abstract
Grid computing stands for the effort undertaken mainly by computing centers to open up and combine their resources for an enhanced availability. There is a growing demand for an automatic balance of inter-infrastructure resource requests that existing middleware such as UNICORE and Globus Tool Kit is ill-suited to satisfy, as it it requires the user to provide the location of suitable resources and only facilitates the migration process. Other projects like Gridway or LSF Multicluster suffer (at least currently) from missing interoperability. We describe a distributed, failure-resilient meta-scheduling architecture that allows the automatic exchange of job requests between resource providers, aiming at improved resource utilization, automatic load-balancing, as well as reduced turn-around times. Additionally, the system tries to achieve grid-wide improvements while still preserving the autonomy of resource providers. This is accomplished by making all decisions locally.
