“…CCS [47] is vendor-independent resource management software that manages geographically distributed High Performance Computers. It is analogous to the well-known GLOBUS and consist of three main components the CCS, which is a vendor-independent LRMSs for local HPC systems; the Resource and Service Description (RSD), used by the CCS to specify and map hardware and software components of computing environments; and the Service Coordination Layer (SCL), which co-ordinates the use of resources across computing sites.…”

For ensuring the fair and efficient sharing of resources and successful market, a well-defined currency system is essential. The two kinds of currencies models are proposed i.e. virtual and real currency. Both of these currency models have advantages and disadvantages based on managerial requirements. The virtual currency is generally deployed [52] due to its low risk and low stakes in case of mismanagement or abuse. However, virtual currency requires careful initial and ongoing management and lack flexibility. For buying and selling resources in real commercial environment, the use of real currency is preferred due to several reasons. The most important reason is that the real currency formats (e.g. USD, Euro, etc.) are universally recognised and are easily transferable and exchanged, and are managed outside the scope of a grid market exchange, by linked free markets and respective government policy.Security: To avoid spamming, there should be a security system for user registration. All the services of the exchange must be accessed by authorized users.

Workstation clusters are often not only used for high-throughput computing in time-sharing mode but also for running complex parallel jobs in space-sharing mode. This poses several difficulties to the resource management system, which must be able to reserve computing resources for exclusive use and also to determine an optimal process mapping for a given system topology. On the basis of our CCS software, we describe the anatomy of a modern resource management system. Like Codine, Condor, and LSF, CCS provides mechanisms for the user-friendly system access and management of clusters. But unlike them, CCS is targeted at the effective support of space-sharing parallel and even metacomputers. Among other features, CCS provides a versatile resource description facility, topology-based process mapping, pluggable schedulers, and hooks to metacomputer management.

“…Back in 1992, we started the CCS project [6][7][8] because we were in need of a vendorindependent resource management system that (a) supports very large parallel systems (≥1000 PEs) (b) handles interactive and batch jobs concurrently (c) performs dynamical system partitioning and scheduling (d) provides a high degree of fault tolerance for remote user access.…”

We present a software system for the management of geographically distributed highperformance computers. It consists of three components: 1. The Computing Center Software (CCS) is a vendor-independent resource management software for local HPC systems. It controls the mapping and scheduling of interactive and batch jobs on massively parallel systems; 2. The Resource and Service Description (RSD) is used by CCS for specifying and mapping hardware and software components of (meta-)computing environments. It has a graphical user interface, a textual representation and an object-oriented API; 3. The Service Coordination Layer (SCL) co-ordinates the co-operative use of resources in autonomous computing sites. It negotiates between the applications' requirements and the available system services.
