Method and system for achieving better efficiency in a client grid using node resource usage and tracking
First Claim
1. A system for distributing task assignments on a computer network comprising:
- a client grid having at least one server coupled to at least one client node,a plurality of client computers coupled to said client node through a plurality of monitoring agents;
wherein each said monitoring agent collects data regarding the available resources of a particular client computer and periodically transmits said data to a grid server and said grid server anticipates the available resources of each client computer coupled to said client node based on previously received data regarding the available resources of each client computer and distributes grid tasks to each client computer of the grid based on said previously received data regarding the available resources.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for distributing task assignments on a computer network comprising a client grid having at least one server coupled to at least one client node and a plurality of client computers coupled to the client node through a plurality of monitoring agents. Each monitoring agent collects data regarding the resources a particular client computer makes available to the grid and transmits the data to the grid server when the client computer requests a grid task. The system generates a resource probability distribution based on the historical computing resource data and employs a scheduling algorithm to distribute grid tasks to the client computers using at least the probability distribution.
