Selfish Grids: Game-theoretic modeling and NAS/PSA benchmark evaluation

A new hierarchical game-theoretic model of the Grid is presented and the Numerical Aerodynamic Simulation (NSA) and Parameter Sweep Application (PSA) workloads are used to study the effects of different strategies. The Optimal selfish strategy has outperformed the Nash selfish strategy, thus serving as a valuable reference for designing appropriate strategies in a practical Grid.
