Abstract :
We investigate resource management in computational grids based on an economic perspective. Specifically, we model the grid as a commodity market of CPU resources that are traded at prices determined by the supply-and- demand equilibrium. This approach has been shown to function for small, static grids. We present simulation results to demonstrate it can be extended to grids with a dynamic fabric and large (thousands) number of resources.
