Network centered multiple resource scheduling in e-science applications

Abstract

Workflows generated from e-Science applications require the simultaneous use of multiple types of resources. In this paper, we present the Multiple Resource Reservation Model (MRRM), which enables the monitoring and scheduling of multiple heterogeneous and distributed resources. MRRM provides a uni.ed representation for multiple types of distributed resources, and represents resource constrains such as compatibility and accessibility. Using MRRM, we solve the Multiple Resource First Slot problem based on a collection of algorithms that are customized for different request and resource types. Our simulation results demonstrate effciency and scalability of our algorithms for various sizes of networks and resource sets. © Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2010.
