Abstract

Much work has been done to exploit the benefit brought by allowing job execution on distributed computational resources. Nodes are typically able to share jobs only within the same virtual organization, which is inherently bounded by various reasons such as the adopted information system or other agreed constraints. The problem raised by such limitation is thus related to finding a way to enable interoperation between nodes from different virtual organizations. We introduce a novel technique for integrating visions from both resource users and providers, allowing to serve multiple virtual organizations as a whole. By means of snapshot data stored within each grid node, such as processing and interacting history, we propose a demand-centered heuristic scheduling approach named Critical Friend Community (CFC). To this end, a set of simplified community scheduling targeted algorithms and processing workflows are described. A prototype of our scheduling approach is being implemented within the SmartGRID project.
