This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
This paper presents a performance analysis of marketbased batch schedulers for clusters of workstations. In contrast to previous work, we use user-centric performance metrics as t...
This paper studies a load scheduling strategy with nearoptimal processing time leveraging the computational characteristics of parallel DNA sequence alignment algorithms, specific...
In this paper we describe the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a technique for operating system schedulers called processor pool-based scheduling [51]. Our tec...
