Abstract

The management of resources on testbeds, including their description, reservation and verification, is a challenging issue, especially on of large scale testbeds such as those used for research on High Performance Computing or Clouds. In this paper, we present the solution designed for the Grid’5000 testbed in order to: (1) provide users with an in-depth and machine-parsable description of the testbed’s resources; (2) enable multi-criteria selection and reservation of resources using a HPC resource manager; (3) ensure that the description of the resources remains accurate.

Keywords: Testbed Resources Discovery Description Reservation Verification
