Abstract
A distributed group-pricing algorithm is presented for the market-based resource management in the grid context based on quick convergence of centralized algorithms and scalability of distributed algorithms. According to the new algorithm, resources in the system are divided into multiple resource groups according to the degree of price correlation of resources. When the demand and supply of resources in the system changes, each auctioneer in the defined system structure is responsible for adjusting simultaneously the price of one resource group respectively until the excess demand of all resources becomes zero. We test the distributed group-pricing algorithm against the existed distributed algorithm, and analyze the property of the algorithm. Experimental results indicate that an equilibrium can be achieved by the distributed group-pricing algorithm quicker than by the existed distributed algorithm.
