Abstract
Media are provided for performing methods of allocating tasks among computation resources in an optimal or near-optimal fashion. A method is disclosed for doing so which comprises the steps of receiving a request to instantiate a service which includes a task specification for that service; for each available computation resource, calculating a time metric for the specified task on the computation resource which incorporates a computation time and a transfer time; determining a computation resource based on the time metric calculated for each of the computation resources; selecting a bundle based on the service to be instantiated; and transmitting a message to a launcher running on the chosen computation resource that causes the launcher to instantiate the service on the chosen computation resource from the selected bundle.
