- Description
- Energy consumption is an issue for high performance grid computing. There has been substantial research into grid resource allocation, however there has been little research on energy aware resource allocation. We are proposing that altering the resource allocation mechanism can make a substantial difference to both the time tasks take to execute and the energy consumed by the grid. We simulated a grid environment and examined the use of three simple economic resource allocation mechanisms: the batch auction, a pre-processed batch auction, and a continuous double auction. We discovered that different mechanisms perform better under different circumstances, and that changing the resource allocation mechanism results in a substantial difference to the time tasks take to execute, and over time can make a significant difference to the total energy consumption of the grid.
