Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive information about requested resources from a computational resource consumer. The information about the requested resources can be analyzed to generate a first multi-dimensional array including a first set of name-value pairs associated with the requested resources. Information about offered resources can be received from a computational resource provider. The information about the offered resources can be analyzed to generate a second multi-dimensional array including a second set of name-value pairs associated with the offered resources. The first multi-dimensional array and the second multi-dimensional array can be evaluated based on an evaluation algorithm.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

providing a computational resource attribute tuple, extensible (CRATE); and

providing a format associated with the CRATE.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the format is readable for humans and machine-parsable.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the format includes fixed CPU.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the format includes memory.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the format includes mass storage.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the format includes network attributes.
