Abstract:
We describe and evaluate a set of protocols that implement a
distributed, decentralized desktop grid. Incoming jobs are
matched with system nodes through proximity in an N-dimensional
resource space. This work improves on prior work by (1) efficiently
accommodating node and job characterizations that include both
continuous and categorical resource types, and (2)
scaling gracefully to large system sizes even with highly non-uniform
distributions of job and node types.
We use extensive simulation results to show that the
resulting system handles both continuous and categorical constraints
efficiently, and that the new scalability techniques are effective.
