Abstract

ReGTime3 (Rent Gigaflops some Times) is a software package that helps to rent unused computing power. Sites offer unused resources on a “computing power market”. Customers specify their requirements using World Wide Web. ReGTime creates an offer based on available capacities. If the offer is accepted, ReGTime helps to establish a contract, organizes the access, observes the compliance with the contract, and collects data for invoicing. This way e.g. smaller companies may purchase additional computing power without investing in hardware.
