Desktop grid computing is the computing paradigm that can execute large-scale computing jobs using the desktop resources with heterogeneity and volatility. However, such the computing environment can not guarantee the stability and reliability of task execution because the desktop resources with different performance can freely participate and leave in task execution. Therefore, in this paper, we design resource grouping scheme using k-means clustering algorithm with an aim to provide desktop grid computing with the stability and reliability of task execution. Moreover, we conduct resource grouping using the execution log data of actual desktop grid systems and present application methods of desktop resource groups to fault-tolerance. Keywords

“…The server is a single point of failure, and it has limited capacity and network bandwidth. SZTAKI's method [8] is an easy way to distribute the server-side load to several hierarchical servers. By forming multilevel RT-BOINC servers with tree structure, we can extend both the scalability and extensibility.…”

Abstract-Many large-scale distributed computing applications demand real-time responses by soft deadlines. To enable such real-time task distribution and execution on the volunteer resources, we previously proposed the design of the real-time volunteer computing platform called RT-BOINC. The system gives low O(1) worst-case execution time for task management operations, such as task scheduling, state transitioning, and validation. In this work, we present a full implementation RT-BOINC, adding new features including deadline timer and parameter-based admission control. We evaluate RT-BOINC at large scale using two real-time applications, namely, the games Go and Chess. The results of our case study show that RT-BOINC provides much better performance than the original BOINC in terms of average and worst-case response time, scalability and efficiency.

Abstract. In the age of Grid, Cloud, volunteer computing, massively parallel applications are deployed over tens or hundreds of thousands of resources over short periods of times to complete immense computations. In this work, we consider the problem of deploying such applications with stringent real-time requirements. One major challenge is the server-side management of these tasks, which often number in tens or hundreds of thousands on a centralized server. In this work, we design and implement a real-time task management system for many-task computing, called RT-BOINC. The system gives low O(1) worst-case execution time for task management operations, such as task scheduling, state transitioning, and validation. We implement this system on top of BOINC, a common middleware for volunteer computing. Using micro and macro-benchmarks executed in emulation experiments, we show that RT-BOINC provides significantly lower worst-case execution time, and lessens the gap between the average and the worst-case performance compared with the original BOINC implementation.
