Abstract
Managing shared cyberinfrastructure resources is a fundamental
challenge for service hosting and utility computing environments, as
well as the next generation of network testbeds and grids. This talk
presents a resource control plane architecture for networked resource
sharing based on a foundational abstraction of brokered leasing.
I'll describe a prototype system called Shirako and explore its
applicability to systems in which the resources are held in common by
a community of shareholders, offered as a hosting service to
customers, or contributed in a reciprocal fashion by self-interested
peers. I will focus on three examples: secure on-demand clustering,
grid hosting with adaptive resource control, and self-managing batch
computation using virtual machines.
Bio: Jeffrey S. Chase is a Professor of Computer Science at Duke
University in Durham, NC. His research with Duke's Network and
Internet Computing Lab deals with efficient and reliable sharing of
information and resources in computer networks ranging from clusters
to the global Internet.
