The JoSchKa System: Organic Job Distribution in Heterogeneous and Unreliable Environments

Abstract. This paper describes a job distribution system which focuses on standard desktop worker nodes in inhomogeneous and unreliable environments. The system is suited for general purpose usage and supports both batch jobs and object-oriented interactive applications using standard Internet technologies. Advanced scheduling methods minimize the total execution time and improve execution efficiency, specialized to deal with unreliable failing worker nodes.
