A resource allocation architecture with support for interactive sessions in utility Grids

Utility Grids implemenf a virtuuliiarion architecture and nl- lowfor sharing of infrastructure for improved Rerum on invesrmenr(RO1J.Wc consider extending the existing Grid infrustrucrure to SUp[JOrtinteracrive sessions in an enterprise serring. This w,ould allow u.sersto remotelyexecuteinteractive upplicnrionsin the Grid und view their ourput using remore displuy rechnologies. We propose a resourceallocation architecture tosupport such inferactive sessinas in Utilify Grids. End-users submit requestsfor a remote deskrop session A Utility Grid Site Resource Allocation Sysrem assigns a compute nodefor this request consideringpefomnce needs of .such remote desktop sessions.
