We describe a scheduling technique in which estimated job runtimes and estimated resource availability are used to efficiently distribute workloads across a homogeneous grid of res...

BOINC, a middleware system for volunteer computing, involves projects, which distribute jobs, and hosts, which execute jobs. The local (host-level) scheduler addresses two issues:...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
Earlier work has developed the underpinnings of IC-Scheduling Theory, an algorithmic framework for scheduling computations having intertask dependencies for Internet-based computi...

Abstract In this paper, we focus on the problem of scheduling batches of identical task graphs on a heterogeneous platform, when the task graph consists in a tree. We rely on stead...
