Resource Management Under Language and Application Control (REMULAC)

Abstract

An ensemble of networked systems is an attractive platform for a wide range of applications. The "GRID" approach is one example of an attempt to harness a large number of systems at different sites together to form a practical computing environment. Networked systems expose applications to the realities of resource availability. Networks either deliver best-effort service (then it is up to the application how to shield the user) or they allow reservations (then the application must figure out what resources to reserve). However, when this project started, networked systems did not support network-side end-to-end resource reporting and management, making life difficult for application developers and user. The Remulac (Resource management Under Language and Application Control) developed a uniform method to provide resource management for applications so that they can benefit from the availability, replication, and cost-effectiveness of networked environments.
