Location: Ballroom Corridor

Abstract:
Our goal is to design and build a scalable infrastructure for executing desktop grid applications on a widely distributed set of resources, employing Peer-to-Peer services for robustness and scalability. As such a system scales to large configurations and heavy workloads it becomes a challenging problem to efficiently match jobs with different resource requirements to available heterogeneous computational resources, to provide good load balancing, and to obtain high system throughput and low job turnaround times.

We propose two novel approaches to job scheduling and efficient resource matching, a Rendezvous Node Tree and a Content-Addressable Network (CAN) based algorithms. We have performed a comparative analysis of these two different approaches, to give insight into the design and implementation of scalable resource discovery algorithms in a distributed and heterogeneous grid environment.

The poster will describe the overall structure of our matchmaking frameworks and provide performance results obtained via simulations and a preliminary peer implementation.
