  1. The Case For Prediction-based Best-effort Real-time Peter A. Dinda Bruce Lowekamp Loukas F. Kallivokas David R. O’Hallaron Carnegie Mellon University

  2. Overview • Distributed interactive applications • Could benefit from best-effort real-time • Example: QuakeViz (Earthquake Visualization) and the DV (Distributed Visualization) framework • Evidence for feasibility of prediction-based best-effort RT service for these applications • Mapping algorithms • Execution time model • Host load prediction

  3. Application Characteristics • Interactivity • Users initiate tasks with deadlines • Timely, consistent, and predictable feedback • Resilience • Missed deadlines are acceptable • Distributability • Tasks can be initiated on any host • Adaptability • Task computation and communication can be adjusted Shared, unreserved computing environments
