Non-cooperative, Semi-cooperative, and Cooperative Games-based Grid Resource Allocation
Straightforward access to large-scale distributed computational assets is provided by computational Grids. With the help of their size and geographic dissemination they help to create large computing centers. Several simulation studies are performed for evaluating the mechanisms to allocate resources in a Grid. There are three mechanisms to allocate resources in a Grid. The first method is the non-cooperative sealed-bid method where the tasks are auctioned off to the highest bidder. Second, the semi-cooperative n-round bid method in which each site delegates the task its work to others if it cannot perform the work itself. Last, the cooperative method in which all the sites cooperatively perform all the tasks as efficiently as possible. The simulation model has various leveled Grid structure in which machines are built around larger computing centers called “federations” [1].
In a computational framework, a large computational task is divided up among individual machines, which run calculations in parallel and then
