Abstract
A technique for allocating a global resource in a distributed grid environment includes receiving from slave resource managers use and demand data associated with the global resource by each consumer in a respective region. A master resource manager computes an allocation of the global resource for each consumer and for each region based on the use data and the demand data. The master resource manager then communicates to each slave resource manager an amount of the global resource allocated to each consumer in each respective region controlled by a respective slave resource manager and a total allocation of the global resource for the region controlled by the respective slave resource manager.
