ID - 1989 T2 - Parallel Computing: Current and Future Issues of High End Computing TI - Provision of Fault Tolerance with Grid-enabled and SLA-aware Resource Management Systems ER - TY - CHAP AB - In this paper, we describe the architecture of the virtual resource manager VRM, a management system designed to reside on top of local resource management systems for cluster computers and other kinds of resources. The most important feature of the VRM is its capability to handle quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees and service-level agreements (SLAs). The particular emphasis of the paper is on the various opportunities to deal with local autonomy for resource management systems not supporting SLAs. As local administrators may not want to hand over complete control to the Grid management, it is necessary to define strategies that deal with this issue. Local autonomy should be retained as much as possible while providing reliability and QoS guarantees for Grid applications, e.g., specified as SLAs.

WS-Agreement Workshop (Open Grid Forum 18) TI - Using WS-Agreement for Risk Management in the Grid ER - TY - CHAP AB - Grid Computing promises an efficient sharing of world-wide distributed resources, ranging from hardware, software, expert knowledge to special I/O devices. However, although the main Grid mechanisms are already developed or are currently addressed by tremendous research effort, the Grid environment still suffers from a low acceptance in different user communities. Beside difficulties regarding an intuitive and comfortable resource access, various problems related to the reliability and the Quality-of-Service while using the Grid exist. Users should be able to rely, that their jobs will have certain priority at the remote Grid site and that they will be finished upon the agreed time regardless of any provider problems. Therefore, QoS issues have to be considered in the Grid middleware but also in the local resource management systems at the Grid sites. However, most of the currently used resource management systems are not suitable for SLAs, as they do not support resource reservation and do not offer mechanisms for job checkpointing/migration respectively. The latter are mandatory for Grid providers as rescue anchor in case of system failures or system overload. This paper focuses on SLA-aware job migration and presents a work, which is being performed in the EU supported project HPC4U.

In this context, a QoS guarantee covers simultaneous allocations of various kinds of different resources, such as processor runtime, storage capacity, or network bandwidth, which are specified in the form of service level agreements (SLA). Currently, a gap exists between the capabilities of grid middleware and the underlying resource management systems concerning their support for QoS and SLA negotiation. In this paper we present an approach which closes this gap. Introducing the architecture of the virtual resource manager, we highlight its main QoS management features like run-time responsibility, co-allocation, and fault tolerance.
