Conclusions

• Minimizing global cost functions is a good approach to metacomputer resource allocation with heterogeneous resources and machines.

• Such strategies extend to handle many variant environments.

• We can implement such strategies in a real system.

We have demonstrated that our cost-based strategy is a strong approach to resource allocation in metacomputers.

We have shown how to implement it in many different environments.

We have implemented two metacomputers based on this Framework.
