ABSTRACT
Federated geographically-distributed computing platforms such as PlanetLab [1] and the Grid [2, 3] have recently become popular for evaluating and deploying network services and scientific computations. As the size, reach, and user population of such infrastructures grow, resource discovery and resource selection become increasingly important. Although a number of resource discovery and allocation services have been built, there is little data on the utilization of the distributed computing platforms they target. Yet the design and efficacy of such services depends on the characteristics of the target platform.

A grid-enabled software distributed shared memory system on a wide area network
This study implements a grid-enabled software distributed shared memory (SDSM) system called Teamster-G on a wide area network (WAN). With the support of Teamster-G, users can develop applications on computational grids by means of shared variables. ...
Building Autonomically Scalable Services on Wide-Area Shared Computing Platforms
NCA '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Network Computing and ApplicationsWe present here mechanisms and models for building autonomically scalable and resilient services on wideâ area shared computing platforms in which resources at a node are allocated to competing users on fairâ share basis. There is no platformâ wide ...
Grids and grid technologies for wide-area distributed computing
The last decade has seen a substantial increase in commodity computer and network performance, mainly as a result of faster hardware and more sophisticated software. Nevertheless, there are still problems, in the fields of science, engineering, and ...
