Abstract

We introduce a pricing mechanism for Grid computing, with the aim of showing how a broker can accept the most appropriate jobs to be computed on time and on budget. We analyse the mechanism's performance via discrete event simulation, and illustrate its viability, the benefits of a new admission policy and to how slack relates to machine heterogeneity.
