Wednesday Keynote
A Marketplace for Cloud Resources
Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm aimed to offer users
pay-per-use computing resources, while leaving the burden of managing
the computing infrastructure to the cloud provider. We present a new
programming and pricing model that gives the cloud user the
flexibility of trading execution speed and price on a per-job
basis. We discuss the scheduling and resource management challenges
for the cloud provider that arise in the implementation of this
model. We argue that techniques from real-time and embedded software
can be useful in this context. This is joint work with Anmol V. Singh,
Vasu Singh, Thomas Wies, and Damien Zufferey.
