TL;DR
GRUBER is described, an architecture and toolkit for resource usage service level agreement (SLA) specification and enforcement in a grid environment, and a series of experiments on a real grid, Grid3.
Abstract
Resource sharing within grid collaborations usually implies specific sharing mechanisms at participating sites. Challenging policy issues can arise in such scenarios that integrate participants and resources spanning multiple physical institutions. Resource owners may wish to grant to one or more virtual organizations (VOs) the right to use certain resources subject to local usage policies and service level agreements, and each VO may then wish to use those resources subject to its usage policies. This paper describes GRUBER, an architecture and toolkit for resource usage service level agreement (SLA) specification and enforcement in a grid environment, and a series of experiments on a real grid, Grid3. The proposed mechanism allows resources at individual sites to be shared among multiple user communities.

A fair Share scheduler allocates resources so that users get their fair machine share over a long period because central-processing-units have traditionally allocated resources fairly among processes.

Balancing risk and reward in a market-based task service

A policy which purposely unbalances load among the hosts is proposed, yet, counter-to-intuition, is also fair in that it achieves the same expected slowdown for all jobs – thus no jobs are biased against.
