Abstract
Cloud systems differ fundamentally in how they offer and
charge for resources. While some systems provide a generic
programming abstraction at coarse granularity, e.g., a virtual machine rented by the hour, others offer specialized
abstractions with fine-grained accounting on a per-request
basis. In this paper, we explore Tasklets, an abstraction for
instances of short-duration, generic computations that migrate from a host requiring computation to hosts that are
willing to provide computation. Tasklets enable fine-grained
accounting of resource usage, enabling us to build infrastructure that supports trading computing resources according to
various economic models. This computation model is especially attractive in settings where mobile devices can utilize
resources in the cloud to mitigate local resource constraints.
