Abstract

See full text

The current document is directed to a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system organizes and tracks operations related to a resource exchange using a resource-exchange context. In one implementation, each resource-exchange context represents the stages of, and information related to, placement of one or more computational-resources-consuming entities on behalf of a resource consumer within a resource-provider computing facility and execution of the one or more computational-resources-consuming entities within the resource-provider computing facility.
