Abstract
Peertopeer computing the harnessing of idle compute cycles throughout the Internet offers exciting new research challenges in the converging domains of networking and distributed computing Our system Cluster Computing on the Fly seeks to harvest cycles from ordinary users in an open access noninstitutional environment CCOF encompasses all activities involved in the management of idle cycles overlay construction for hosts donating cycles resource discovery within the overlay applicationbased scheduling local scheduling on the host node and metalevel scheduling among a community of applicationlevel schedulers In this paper we identify four important classes of cyclesharing applications each requiring its own scheduling strategy workpile workpile with deadlines treebased search and pointofpresence We describe a Wave Scheduler for workpile tasks that exploits idle nighttime cycles using a geographicbased overlay The scheduler incorporates a quizzing mechanism to check the correctness of results and determine trust ratings for the hosts We also propose a PointofPresence Scheduler to discover and schedule hosts that meet applicationspecific requirements for location topological distribution and available resources
