A Search Method of Large-Scale Resources for Providing Efficient Computing on a Participating Fine-Granular Cloud Computing Platform

Currently, most of cloud computing services based on IaaS are provided by one specific provider for many users. In contrast, we have advocated a “participating fine-granular cloud computing platform” that a large number of personal or small company level resource suppliers participates in, configures and provides cloud computing, as an ultimately evolved form of cloud computing environment. When large-scale resources are requested by users in environments where small amount of resources are provided by many suppliers, appropriate resources for a large-scale request should be selected. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a resource search method for large-scale computing, in which resources that are close to each other are selected and used by each user to support quick computation and communication response, and low traffic load in the network.
