WP6Infrastructure Resource Market Place

Overview of progressUEssex

High-Performance Network Group

WP6 Overall Objective

• Study, design and simulation of the necessary algorithms for the implementation of the MANTYCHORE marketplace mechanism– Enable the automatic negotiation and reservation of resources

between users and providers. • the capability to automatically select, orchestrate and reserve the best

resources for a given request

• To use the marketplace in order to allow the NRENs to announce their own infrastructure as resources of MANTYCHORE services– Users from virtual research communities will be able to access

resources from several providers

WP6 Structure

• WP6 leader: UEssex• Duration M2-M20• T6.1: Infrastructure marketplace mechanisms study and simulation• T6.2: Implementation of the marketplace prototype• Participants: UEssex, NORDUnet, i2CAT, TID• Total MM = 17

Technical Approach

• Study and analysis of existing and state of the art work (M2-M9)

• Definition of a market place based use case (M5-M7)

• Initial design of market place (M5-M9)

• Simulation and emulation analysis (M8-M20)

• Design finalization V1 (M15)

• Implementation (M15-M20)

• Design finalization V2 (M20)

(Green colour tasks have been started and progressing, Orange Colour tasks to be started)

Technical Progress

• Study and analysis of existing and state of the art work (M2-M9)– Review of projects and framework relevant to L3 virtualization

and virtual IP resource allocation• XBONE• PLanetLab• VIOLIN• AUTOI• AGAVE

– Review of existing network brokering mechanisms• Internet2 approach: NARB (Network Aware Resource Broker)• Grid approach: Market-Oriented Grid algorithms

Technical Progress

• Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7)– The use case will be based on UK Ultra-high Definition (UHD)

consortium network infrastructure• The UK Ultra-high Definition (UHD) consortium is a networked infrastructure

for the development and deployment of next generation networked multimedia applications and services. It consists of five members namely: University of Essex (Essex), University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), Digital Design Studio (Glasgow), University of Cardiff (Cardiff), and Technium CAST (Bangor).

• The current setup is made up of three networked nodes – Essex, Glasgow, and Cardiff – which are interconnected via the JANET UK network, and is investigating the development and deployment of interactive UHD 3D media applications in the medical and cultural heritage/ virtual tourism domains.

Technical Progress

• Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7)– Use case emulated infrastructure

Technical Progress

• Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7)– Use case emulated infrastructure

• There are two in depended emulated infrastructures– Infrastructure 1: Ring– Infrastructure 2: Star– Edge devices (visualization + servers) are same in both infrastructure

but for simplicity they are shown in separately. It means there are two independent providers (infrastructure) providing connectivity service for user to same edge devices/resource but the cost and QoS for each infrastructure is different

– This emulates two providers provisioning connectivity service to same set of visualization devices and computing servers

– Market place will facilitate resource brokerage, selection and negotiation for user request

Technical Progress • Definition of market place based use case (M5-M7)

Technical Progress

• Initial design of market place for starting and stimulating discussion and feedback from parterns (M5-M9)– Figure guide:

• Inp: infrastructure provider• VNT: virtual network• Sp: service provider ( requester of VNT)

– A document to be released on details of algorithm and designs

Technical Progress

• Simulation and emulation (M8-M20)– Simulation

• Large scale performance analysis and measurements for MarketPlace algorithms

– Emulation• Use case implementation• Mantychore tools and software installation• Market place algorithms deployment• Interfacing (not integration) Market Place and Mantychore (end

product of T6.1) tools and evaluation• Deployment of integrated Mantychore and Market Place (end

product of T6.2) and evaluation

Technical Progress
