Statistical Service Assurances for Applications in Utility Grid Environments
Overview Utility grid environments offer programmatic access to Information Technology (IT) resources for applications. There is a substantial literature regarding admission control, resource reservation, and scheduling in support of engineering and scientific jobs for grids. Typically each job is associated with a duration and peak requirements for resources. This paper focuses on techniques to support admission control and advance resource reservation for applications with statistical demand characterizations. The authors consider business applications which require resources continuously but that have resource demands that change regularly based on factors such as time of day and day of week. The paper presents a method that provides statistical assurances regarding the number of resources needed to satisfy the combined requirements of many applications over time.
