SLA-Based Coordinated Superscheduling Scheme and Performance for Computational Grids
Overview The Service Level Agreement (SLA) based grid superscheduling approach promotes coordinated resource sharing. Superscheduling is facilitated between administratively and topologically distributed grid sites by grid schedulers such as Resource brokers. This paper presents a market-based SLA coordination mechanism. The SLA model is based on a well known contract net protocol. The key advantages of the approach are that it allows: resource owners to have finer degree of control over the resource allocation that was previously not possible through traditional mechanism; and superschedulers to bid for SLA contracts in the contract net with focus on completing the job within the user specified deadline.
