Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
Applications structured as parallel task graphs exhibit both data and task parallelism, and arise in many domains. Scheduling these applications on parallel platforms has been a lo...
This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...
In the past decade cluster computing platforms have been widely applied to support a variety of scientific and commercial applications, many of which are parallel in nature. Howev...
