Abstract
In Distributed Batch-processing Systems (DBSs), CPU-intensive jobs are automatically transferred and executed using idle computers across a network, there by increasing the resource usage and throughput. To be successful, the systems must guarantee the scalablility, fault-tolerance, and flexibility of dynamic configurations. In practice, however, it is very difficult to provide such capabilities in a non-deterministic environment in which the available set of resources is unpredictable because of network failures, computer failures, or voluntary withdrawal from a pool by a machine owner. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of the J-JDBS (Jini-based Java Distributed Batch-processing System) system which is based on the core Jini services like Discovery service, Lookup service, Lease service and etc. We show that the Jini core services can be very effectively used to build reliable, scalallle, fault-tolerant, and flexible DBS systems with little effort.
