Market-Based Resource Allocation for Utility Data Centers

Tags:
data center

Overview This technical paper concerns the application of market-based control to dynamic resource allocation within a utility data center or other distributed computing infrastructure. The report is intended to do two things. First, it demonstrates a possible instantiation of the market paradigm in an outsourced- services context, describing a suitable market mechanism and exemplifying agent bidding algorithms and second, it provides evidence in the form of simulation results to support the argument that dynamic resource allocation in general, and market-based resource allocation in particular, can contribute measurable value to business.
