1. Web Services Load Leveler Enabling Autonomic Meta-Scheduling in Grid Environments Objective Enable autonomic meta-scheduling over different organizations Strategic Importance Enhance usability: common job control language to different resource domains Drive interoperability of schedulers: proprietary and open- source Provide integrated scheduling views for enterprise and grid customers Technology Benefits Meet various user service objectives: policy driven (e.g. capability based, response time based) Maximize resource availability to users with transparency of locations Optimize utilization of resources across domains I: Objectives Connection API Establish and terminate connections between domain meta-schedulers. Negotiate roles and connection parameters using the interface Provider roles: provide resources for job execution; is responsible of sending out resource information Consumer roles: use resources provided by providers; route job request to providers. Send heart beats: exchanged to guarantee the healthy state of the connection. Resource exchange API Exchange the scheduling capability and capacity of the domain controlled by the meta-scheduler Exchanged information can be a complete or incremental set of data Job management API Submit, re-route and monitor job executions across schedulers IV: System architecture Job Mgmt API Connection API Resource exchange API Job Management Resource Management Connection Management FIU Peer-to-peer II: P2P Meta scheduling TDWB IBM-USA TDWB IBM-India IBM Fork BSCgrid BSC SGE FIU-GCB Fork LAGrid FIU Meta- Scheduler Peer-to-peer III: Autonomic Meta scheduling Yanbin Liu 1, S.

Site autonomy; each metascheduler is responsible from its own site, and offers as much information as it wants to other sites. Peer-to-peer; no centralized body, no single-point of failure.

User Client takes the job request from the local User. This request is forwarded to Global Scheduling Manager (GSM). 2. GSM queries the Resource Manager (RM) for resources. RM stores information about local and remote resources. 3. If available resources are found on local site, job request is forwarded to Site Scheduling Manager (SSM). 4. SSM leverages Gridway functionality to submit the job to the Grid Middleware (Globus). 5. If there are not available resources locally, job request is sent to a remote site through WS Client 6. Alternatively, job requests from other peers can be received from the WS layer. 1. User Client takes the job request from the local User.

The eNANOS Client forwards the user requests to the eNANOS Broker. 2. The remote request from the P2P infrastructure are managed by regular WS (Axis2) acting as a wrapper to a GT4 service that implements the LAGrid APIs and protocols. Connections and other data is stored in Resource Properties. 3. Jobs and resources (aggregated data) obtained from local and remote sites are used in the eNANOS Resource Broker scheduling. Jobs are executed under the local domain through Globus services, or are forwarded to other meta-scheduler. 4. eNANOS provide its resources data, forwards jobs and performs other operations (such as sending heart beats) through a WS Client. 1.

Users send job requests in JSDL format to Meta-TDWB using either TDWB web console or command line. 2. The connection with other meta- schedulers is created and recorded. 3. The resource information from other meta-schedulers, local schedulers such as LoadLeveler and TDWB, and local resources are recorded. 4. Combined with chosen scheduling policy, scheduler matches job requests to resources. 5. Based on the allocated resources, job requests are either forwarded to other schedulers or dispatched to the resources directly. 1.
