ALLOCATING A GLOBAL RESOURCE IN A DISTRIBUTED GRID ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A technique for allocating a global resource in a distributed grid environment includes a master resource manager (MRM), and a plurality of slave resource managers (SRMs) each configured to allocate a global resource within a respectively controlled region of a distributed grid computing environment. The MRM receives from each SRM use data and demand data associated with the global resource by each consumer in the respective region controlled by the respective SRM. The MRM then computes an allocation of the global resource for each consumer and for each region based on the use data and the demand data. The MRM then communicates to each SRM an amount of the global resource allocated to each consumer in each respective region controlled by a respective SRM and a total allocation of the global resource for the region controlled by the respective SRM.

1. A system, comprising:
a master resource manager executable by a processor unit; and a plurality of slave resource managers each configured to allocate a global resource within a respectively controlled region of a distributed grid computing environment; wherein the master resource manager is configured to:
receive, from each slave resource manager, use data and demand data associated with the global resource by each consumer in the respective region controlled by the respective slave resource manager;compute an allocation of the global resource for each consumer and for each region based on the use data and the demand data; andcommunicate to each slave resource manager an amount of the global resource allocated to each consumer in each respective region controlled by a respective slave resource manager and a total allocation of the global resource for the region controlled by the respective slave resource manager.
