Abstract
A technique for allocating a global resource in a distributed grid environment includes: a master resource manager (MRM) that receives from slave resource managers use and demand data associated with a global resource by each consumer in a region controlled by a respective slave resource manager. The MRM computes an allocation of the resource for each consumer and for each region by determining a total amount of the resource to allocate, estimating a need by each consumer for the resource based on the use and demand data, determining an allocation of the total amount of the resource among the consumers based on the estimated need; subdividing the allocation for each consumer among each region where the consumer utilizes the resource; and computing a total allocation of the resource for each region.
