A resource allocation architecture with support for interactive sessions in utility grids

Utility Grids implemenf a virtuuliiarion architecture and nl-- lowfor sharing of infrastructure for improved Rerum on invesr-menr(RO1J. Wc consider extending the existing Grid infrustrucrure to SUp[JOrt interacrive sessions in an enterprise serring. This w,ould allow u.sers to remotely execute interactive upplicnrions in the Grid und view their ourput using remore displuy rechnologies. We pro-pose a resource allocation architecture to support such inferactive sessinas in Utilify Grids. End-users submit requests for a remote deskrop session A Utility Grid Site Resource Allocation Sysrem assigns a compute node for this request considering pefomnce needs of.such remote desktop sessions. We also pmpose a hier-atchinil admission conrml sysrem. The system consists of a Site Admission Control Sysrem for admission control of remore desktop sessions. and n Session Admis.yion Contml sysrem at the compute node fiir admission check of per-application intrraaive sessions. We also presenr discussion on mired workloads consisting of re-quesrs.for barch jobs and interactive remote desktop sessions.
