Resource Evaluation and Node Monitoring in Service Oriented Ad-hoc Grids
Scriven, I., Lewis, A., Smith, M. and Friese, T.
Ad-hoc grid computing is an emerging computing
technology that promises to deliver high performance at
relatively low cost using existing computing resources.
There are a number of grid middleware systems being
developed to this end. However, a number of features are
lacking that are required if ad hoc grid computing is to
become viable in a production environment. This paper
addresses two of these key features - a resource
evaluation and allocation system, which allows grid
developers to accurately specify the requirements of their
grid job to ensure the most suitable nodes are used when
creating the ad-hoc grid, and a node monitoring and error
recovery system, which allows grid applications to detect
and recover from errors and complete successfully. These
systems are built into Mage, the Marburg Ad-hoc Grid
Environment, a grid middleware solution developed using
the Globus Toolkit, Apache Tomcat and FreePastry. |
