Title
Reliability and Incentive of Performance Assessment for Decentralized Clouds
Abstract
Decentralized cloud platforms have emerged as a promising paradigm to exploit the idle computing resources across the Internet to catch up with the ever-increasing cloud computing demands. As any user or enterprise can be the cloud provider in the decentralized cloud, the performance assessment of the heterogeneous computing resources is of vital significance. However, with the consideration of the untrustworthiness of the participants and the lack of unified performance assessment metric, the performance monitoring reliability and the incentive for cloud providers to offer real and stable performance together constitute the computational performance assessment problem in the decentralized cloud. In this paper, we present a robust performance assessment solution RODE to solve this problem. RODE mainly consists of a performance monitoring mechanism and an assessment of the claimed performance (AoCP) mechanism. The performance monitoring mechanism first generates reliable and verifiable performance monitoring results for the workloads executed by untrusted cloud providers. Based on the performance monitoring results, the AoCP mechanism forms a unified performance assessment metric to incentivize cloud providers to offer performance as claimed. Via extensive experiments, we show RODE can accurately monitor the performance of cloud providers on the premise of reliability, and incentivize cloud providers to honestly present the performance information and maintain the performance stability.
