RESUMO

A set of computers connected by the Internet can be considered as a Massivelly Parallel Virtual Computer (MPVC) with distributed memory. There are systems which propose the use of these resources as a virtual computer that can execute parallel applications consisting of a large number of tasks. The execution of such applications introduces problems of resource allocation and load balancing, i.e., how to distribute the MPVC computers among the applications in a more efficient way. This work proposes the Resource Allocation Algorithm using Prices (RAAP) based on an economic approach to help the resource allocation process needed by applications submitted to an MPVC in the Internet. This algorithm uses the concept of prices to allow a more efficient allocation, and implements a market where the resources are offered and consumed. The results of a market simulation are show, as well as an analysis of the parameters that influence the allocation of computacional resources in a microeconomic market. The results obtained show the potential and viability of using concepts from economics to solve problems of efficient allocation of computational resources in heterogeneous systems as an MPVC based on the Internet
