An evolutionary game algorithm for grid resource allocation under bounded rationality

Resource allocation cannot reach equilibrium in one‐off game in grid environment because of the bounded rationality of the users. To address this issue, an evolutionary game algorithm for grid resource allocation is proposed in this paper. The evolutionary game theory is introduced to study the selection process of user strategy from the dynamic viewpoint. Firstly, the problem of multiple users competing for a common resource is formulated as a symmetric game. Secondly, replicated dynamic mechanism is used to produce the evolutionary stable point that leads to a satisfied allocation scenario. Finally, the relationships among the evolutionary stable point, valuation functions, and convergence time are discussed in detail. The results of the experiments show that the proposed evolutionary game algorithm is convergent and generates better utility results compared with the classical game algorithm.

Utility-driven solution for optimal resource allocation in computational grid

Optimal resource allocation is a complex undertaking due to large-scale heterogeneity present in computational grid. Traditionally, the decision based on certain cost functions has been used in allocating grid resource as a standard method that does not take resource access cost into consideration. In this paper, the utility function is presented as a promising method for grid resource allocation. To tackle the issue of heterogeneous demand, the user's preference is represented by utility function, which is driven by a user-centric scheme rather than system-centric parameters adopted by cost functions. The goal of each grid user is to maximize its own utility under different constraints. In order to allocate a common resource to multiple bidding users, the optimal solution is achieved by searching the equilibrium point of resource price such that the total demand for a resource exactly equals the total amount available to generate a set of optimal user bids. The experiments run on a Java-based discrete-event grid simulation toolkit called GridSim are made to study characteristics of the utility-driven resource allocation strategy under different constraints. Results show that utility optimization under budget constraint outperforms deadline constraint in terms of time spent, whereas deadline constraint outperforms budget constraint in terms of cost spent. The conclusion indicates that the utility-driven method is a very potential candidate for the optimal resource allocation in computational grid.     

An agent-based approach for dynamic adjustment of scheduled jobs in computational grids

Grid computing is a newly developed technology for complex systems with large-scale resource sharing, wide-area communication, and multi-institutional collaboration. Grid scheduling is an important infrastructure in the grid computing environment. Most of the existing grids scheduling methods focus on maximizing processor utilization without taking grid load into consideration. This may lead to significant inefficiencies in performance such as large job queues and processing delays. In this paper, we propose a multiagent-based scheduling system for computational grids with a new approach. Agent technology is suitable for a computational grid because of the dynamic, heterogeneous, and autonomous nature of the grid. The main idea of the proposed system is a combination of a static scheduling using a fixed scheduling algorithm and a dynamic adjustment through the autonomous behavior of agents. The superiority of the proposed system, in reducing the load of the grid and minimizing the response time for executing user applications, is demonstrated by simulation experiments.     

Dynamic scheduling model of computing resource based on MAS cooperation mechanism

Allocation of grid resources aims at improving resource utility and grid application performance. Currently, the algorithms proposed for this purpose do not fit well the autonomic, dynamic, distributive and heterogeneous features of the grid environment. According to MAS (multi-agent system) cooperation mechanism and market bidding game rules, a model of allocating allocation of grid resources based on market economy is introduced to reveal the relationship between supply and demand. This model can make good use of the studying and negotiating ability of consumers’ agent and takes full consideration of the consumer’s behavior, thus rendering the application and allocation of resource of the consumers rational and valid. In the meantime, the utility function of consumer is given; the existence and the uniqueness of Nash equilibrium point in the resource allocation game and the Nash equilibrium solution are discussed. A dynamic game algorithm of allocating grid resources is designed. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm diminishes effectively the unnecessary latency, improves significantly the smoothness of response time, the ratio of throughput and resource utility, thus rendering the supply and demand of the whole grid resource reasonable and the overall grid load balanceable.

A resource selection scheme for QoS satisfaction and load balancing in ad hoc grid

Ad hoc grids are highly heterogeneous and dynamic, in which the availability of resources and tasks may change at any time. The paper proposes a utility based resource selection scheme for QoS satisfaction and load balancing in ad hoc grid environments. The proposed scheme intends to maximize the QoS satisfaction of ad hoc grid users and support load balancing of grid resources. For each candidate ad hoc grid resource, the scheme obtains values from the computations of utility function for QoS satisfaction and benefit maximization game for ad hoc grid resource preference. The utility function for QoS satisfaction computes the utility value based on the satisfaction of QoS requirements of the grid user request. The benefit maximization game for grid resource node preference computes the preference value from the resource point of view. Its main goal is to achieve load balancing and decrease the number of resource selection failure. The utility value and the preference value of each candidate ad hoc grid resource are combined to select the most suitable grid resource for ad hoc grid user request. In the simulation, the performance evaluation of proposed algorithm for ad hoc grid is conducted.
