This paper presents a case study to effectively run a parallel branch and bound application on the Grid. The application discussed in this paper is a fine-grain application and is...
This paper investigates assignment strategies (load balancing algorithms) for process farms which solve the problem of online placement of a constant number of independent tasks w...
