Decentralized Prioritization-Based Management Systems for Distributed Computing

• Fairshare scheduling is an established technique to provide user-level differentiation in management of capacity consumption in high-performance and grid computing scheduler systems. In this paper we extend on a state-of-the-art approach to decentralized grid fairshare and propose a generalized model for construction of decentralized prioritization-based management systems. The approach is based on (re) formulation of control problems as prioritization problems, and a proposed framework for computationally efficient decentralized priority calculation. The model is presented along with a discussion of application of decentralized management systems in distributed computing environments that outlines selected use cases and illustrates key trade-off behaviors of the proposed model.
