Distributed computing task costing with a mobile device

摘要

Distributed computing task costing is disclosed. Costing can be employed to determine if a task will be passed to a distributed computing cluster including mobile devices. Costing can include determining a base cost value predicated on a selectable level of utility to a user of a burdened device, a base time value related to completing the task without the use of the cluster, determining a delay cost, and any monetary costs associated with performing the task without the use of the cluster. Costing can further include demining a relief cost that can include the selectable level of utility, a relief time value related to completing the task with the cluster, the delay cost, an incentive cost based on the sum across a set of relief devices and their corresponding parameters for cluster participation, and any remaining monetary costs borne by the burdened device. Where the base cost value and relief cost value satisfies conditions, a task can be divided into subtasks that can be distributed to the cluster to accomplish the task in a distributed computing environment.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving first information related to a first device operable to assist accomplishing a subtask of a task, wherein the task is to be accomplished by way of one or more networked mobile devices;determining, for a second device, a base utility value, wherein the base utility value is associated with accomplishing the task without assistance from the first device;determining a base monetary cost value based on the base utility value, a utility value relating to priority ranking determined for the accomplishing the task, and a selectable utility to monetary cost factor value;determining, for the second device, a first utility value based on the first information, the first utility value associated with the accomplishing the subtask with the assistance of the first device;determining a first monetary cost value based on the first utility value; andfacilitating access to the base monetary cost value and the first monetary cost value to facilitate determining selection of devices comprising the one or more networked mobile devices.
