A Cost-Benefit Approach to Resource Allocation in Scalable Metacomputers

Abstract

The work described in this report develops, tests, and implements several advanced strategies for resource management in a network of machines. The Cost-Benefit Framework, developed in this work, offers a new approach to job assignment on metacomputers. It smoothly handles heterogeneous resources by converting them into a unitless cost.
