One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelate...
Grid jobs often consist of a large number of tasks. If the performance of a statically scheduled grid job is unsatisfactory, one must decide which code of which task should be imp...
Abstract. As multi-core processors proliferate, it has become more important than ever to ensure efficient execution of parallel jobs on multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we s...
Advance Reservations(AR) make it possible to guarantee the QoS of Grid applications by reserving a particular resource capability over a defined time interval on local resources. H...
We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...
