Several decentralized load balancing policies have been proposed to address the issue of scalability in grids.However, the communication overhead incurred in exchanging state information remains a burden. In this paper, we propose a dynamic, decentralized load balancing policy which performs very competitively in heterogeneous grids. The policy uses an effective mechanism for state information exchange,...
Desktop Grids are rapidly gaining popularity as a cost-effective computing platform for the execution of applications with extensive computing needs. As opposed to grids and clusters, these systems are characterized by having a non-dedicated infrastructure. These unique characteristics need to be considered in developing resource management strategies for Desktop Grids. Several frameworks for the...
Desktop grids have emerged as an important methodology to harness the idle cycles of millions of participant desktop PCs over the Internet. However, to effectively utilize the resources of a desktop grid, it is necessary to use scheduling policies suitable for such systems. A scheduling policy must be applicable to large-scale systems involving large numbers of machines. Also, the policy must be fault-aware...
Resource management systems (RMS) are an important component in heterogeneous computing (HC) systems. One of the jobs of an RMS is the mapping of arriving tasks onto the machines of the HC system. Many different mapping heuristics have been proposed in recent years. However, most of these heuristics suffer from several limitations. One of these limitations is the performance degradation that results...
