When a middleware layer is designed for providing semi-transparent distribution facilities to real-time applications, a trade-off must be made between the expressiveness and contro...
d by an application in thinwire visualization, we study an abstract on-line scheduling problem where the size of each requested service can be scaled down by the scheduler. Thus o...
This paper presents an exact approach of calculating float for each activity in linear schedules. It is based on singularity functions, which have been used previously to determin...
Commodity hardware and software are growing increasingly more complex, with advances such as chip heterogeneity and specialization, deeper memory hierarchies, ne-grained power ma...
In modern resource management systems for supercomputers and HPC-clusters the job-scheduler plays a major role in improving the performance and usability of the system. The perfor...
