  • Method and apparatus for scheduling grid jobs
    Patent number: 7853948
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for scheduling execution of a grid project in accordance with multiple dimensions of dynamic load factors. The present invention provides a mechanism for determining grid node availability based on both processor load and network traffic loads on the nodes in a grid of computing devices. This availability information is used to determine scheduling of the running of grid projects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2010
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Viktors Berstis, Ellen Kay Harper, Brian E. Leonard, Kyle Joseph Prestenback, Justin Lucus Youngblood
  • Method and apparatus for presenting a visualization of processor capacity and network availability based on a grid computing system simulation
    Patent number: 7831971
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for depicting grid availability at various times and for illustrating a simulation of the way in which a grid project will be executed based on grid availability. In addition, the affects of introducing new nodes into the grid may be determined and the affects on the simulated behavior of the grid with regard to the running of a grid project may be depicted using the graphical user interface. From this information, a user may determine the optimal time to initiate processing of a grid project by the computing grid.
