Network Centered Multiple Resource Scheduling in e-Science Applications

Abstract

Abstract. Workflows generated from e-Science applications require the simultaneous use of multiple types of resources. In this paper, we present the Multiple Resource Reservation Model (M RRM ), which enables the monitoring and scheduling of multiple heterogeneous and distributed resources. M RRM provides a unified representation for multiple types of distributed resources, and represents resource constrains such as compatibility and accessibility. Using M RRM , we solve the Multiple Resource First Slot problem based on a collection of algorithms that are customized for different request and resource types. Our simulation results demonstrate efficiency and scalability of our algorithms for various sizes of networks and resource sets.
