A DIET platform

DIET [8] is built upon Server Daemons. The process of scheduling the requests is distributed amongst a hierarchy of Local Agents and Master Agents. The scheduler can use resource availability information collected from different tools like CoRI (Collector of Resource Information) Easy, which is based on simple system calls and some basic performance tests (see Chapter 10). Figure 1.1 shows the hierarchical organization of DIET.
