ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for a grid project throttle control for controlling the rate at which a grid job utilizes processor and network resources at the grid node. This throttling mechanism controls the rate of network and processor utilization based on a determination of the expected network and processor availability determined when a grid project is scheduled so that the grid project does not adversely affect the functioning of the nodes with regard to their regular, non-grid work.
