Boosting gLite with cloud augmented volunteer computing
One of the aims of EDGI project is to integrate gLite and BOINC systems. Volunteer resources provides a huge computational capacity that can be utilized by gLite users. Untrusted/unstable volunteer resources ends up in tail-effect causing longer completion time. Integrated cloud resource eliminates tail and reduces completion time significantly. Algorithm is designed to recognize and to redirect workunits causing the tail.
