| Abstract(in English) | When constructing virtual clusters on grids, randomly selecting nodes from any available computing resources can incur large time overhead in installation time. This is because installation time of each node can vary greatly in heterogeneous grid environments and the total installation time of a virtual cluster is determined by the slowest node. To achieve fast virtual cluster installation, we propose a model-based resource selection policy that chooses a near-optimal node combination of nodes to assemble each cluster. We divide the VM setup process into five steps and generate a model for each step. The time of each step is represented as a linear combination of CPU frequency, disk performance, and package size to install. Experiments using our virtual cluster installer VPC shows that the model-based selection policy is indeed effective, especially when the size of packages to install differs depending on each site. The proposed policy has shown to reduce the installation time by up to 68% compared to the most naive method, 60% to the method considering only CPU frequency, and 58% to the method considering only disk performance. |
