Discouraging Free Riding in a Peer-to-Peer CPU-Sharing Grid (101 KB PDF)

by Nazareno Andrade, Francisco Brasileiro, Walfredo Cirne (Universidade Federal de Campina Grande Campina Grande, Brazil), Miranda Mowbray (HP Labs , Bristol) - from the Proceedings of the 13th High Performance Distributed Computing Symposium June 2004

Free riding is an important issue for any peer-to-peer
system. The aim of this paper is to show how one grid system successfully discourages free riding, making it in each peer’s own interest to collaborate with the peer-to- peer community.

Running Bag-of-Tasks Applications on Computational Grids: The MyGrid Approach 312 KB PDF )

by Walfredo Cirne, Daniel Paranhos, Lauro Costa, Elizeu Santos-Neto, Francisco Brasileiro, Jacques Sauvé (Universidade Federal de Campina Grande); Fabrício Alves Barbosa da Silva (UniSantos – Universidade Católica de Santos); Carla Osthoff Barros (Laboratório Nacional de Computação Científica); Cirano Silveira (Hewlett Packard) - from the Proceedings of the ICCP'2003 - International Conference on Parallel Processing October 2003

This paper discusses how to run Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications (those parallel applications whose tasks are independent of each other) on computational grids.

Presentations

 


Distributed Marketbased Resource Allocation: Theory Design, and Implementation
[837 KB PDF] New!

An analysis of the factors involved in allocating shared computing resources among competing users in a grid. This presentation looks at the various models that have been developed, including Tycoon, a market-based system for managing compute resources.

Grid Research Centre Overview [263 KB PDF]

Overview of work being done at the Grid Research Centre, based at the University of Calgary. One project, a collaboration with HP Labs, explores issues related to monitoring grid environments. The aim is to describe a framework in which monitoring sources can be discovered and programmatically combined for use by high level tools. A second project involves creating a data replication management system using WSRF standards that is designed to work with bandwidth-on-demand lightpath networks.

Minimus – Is a Grid Light the Right Approach? [574 KB PDF]

This presentation from the 2005 HP-CAST grid collaboration meeting in Krako addresses the need for a less complex solution than Globus, and suggests that a 'grid lite' might be the answer.
