Distributed resource discovery in large scale computing systems

摘要

There has been significant effort to build high throughput delivering computing systems out of distributed workstations. These systems are growing to accommodate larger number of workstations with growing demand. Discovery of available resources in such environments is a challenging problem. We present a completely distributed resource discovery solution, which utilizes P2P design to provide a scalable service. Our design allows jobs to search for desired workstations, as well as, workstations to search for jobs that may run on them.
