Adaptive resource management for dynamic distributed real-time applications

摘要

The dynamic distributed real-time applications run on clusters with varying execution time, so re-allocation of resources is critical to meet the applications's deadline. In this paper we present two adaptive recourse management techniques for dynamic real-time applications by employing the prediction of responses of real-time tasks that operate in time sharing environment and run-time analysis of scheduling policies. Prediction of response time for resource reallocation is accomplished by historical profiling of applications' resource usage to estimate resource requirements on the target machine and a probabilistic approach is applied for calculating the queuing delay that a process will experience on distributed hosts. Results show that as compared to statistical and worst-case approaches, our technique uses system resource more efficiently.
