Grid resource ranking using low-level performance measurements

Abstract

This paper outlines a feasible approach to ranking Grid resources based on an easily obtainable application-specific performance model utilizing low-level performance metrics. First, Grid resources are characterized using low-level performance metrics

Then the performance of a given application is associated to the low-level performance measurements via a Ranking Function

Finally, the Ranking Function is used to rank all available resources on the Grid with respect to the specific application at hand. We show that this approach yields accurate results. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
