Loop distribution is one of the most useful techniques to reduce the execution time of parallel applications. Traditionally, loop scheduling algorithms are implemented based on pa...
Many optimization techniques have been adopted for efficient job scheduling in grid computing, such as: genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and stochastic methods. Such techni...

Abstract. Grid computing is a computing framework to meet the growing computational demands. This paper introduces a novel approach based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for s...
In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm that improves the performance of static task scheduling. Our algorithm is based on the list-scheduling mechanism. For the listing p...
