An Economy Driven Resource Management Architecture for Global Computational Power Grids

The growing computational power requirements of grand challenge applications has promoted the need for linking highperformance computational resources distributed across multiple organisations. This is fueled by the availability of the Internet as a ubiquitous commodity communication media, low cost high-performance machines such as clusters across multiple organisations, and the rise of scientific problems of multi-organisational interest. The availability of expensive, special class of scientific instruments or devices and data sources in few organisations has increased the interest in offering a remote access to these resources. The recent popularity of coupling (local and remote) computational resources, special class of scientific instruments, and data sources across the Internet for solving problems has led to the emergence of a new platform called "Computational Grid". This paper identifies the issues in resource management and scheduling driven by computational econo...
