Clusters of commodity computers have emerged as mainstream parallel and distributed platforms for high-performance computing. They are presented together as a single, unified resource to the end users by middleware technologies such as resource management and scheduling (RMS) systems. However, existing cluster RMS systems continue to use system centric models rather than utility models for the management and allocation of resources. There is also little emphasis on the construction of a cooperative federation of clusters to facilitate transparent sharing of resources. To enhance the value delivered by shared clusters, we propose the use of computational economy metaphor in resource management. This project aims to develop (A) computational economy based scheduling policies for allocation of resources and (B) a software infrastructure for creation of cooperative federation of distributed clusters.

商用计算机集群已经成为高性能计算的主流并行和分布式平台。它们通过中间件技术（如资源管理和调度（RMS）系统）一起作为单个、统一的资源呈现给最终用户。然而，现有的集群RMS系统继续使用以系统为中心的模型，而不是实用新型来管理和分配资源。也很少强调建立集群合作联盟以促进资源的透明共享。为了提高共享集群的价值，我们建议在资源管理中使用计算经济隐喻。该项目旨在开发(A)基于计算经济的资源分配调度策略和(B)用于创建分布式集群合作联盟的软件基础设施。
