Grid computing brings with it additional complexities and unexpected failures. Just keeping track of our jobs traversing different grid resources before completion can at times be...
It is common to evaluate scheduling policies based on their mean response times. Another important, but sometimes opposing, performance metric is a scheduling policy’s fairness....
We consider online preemptive scheduling of jobs, arriving one by one, on m identical parallel machines. A buffer of a fixed size K > 0, which assists in partial reordering of...
Simultaneous Multithreading machines fetch and execute instructions from multiple instruction streams to increase system utilization and speedup the execution of jobs. When there ...
Energy usage has been an important concern in recent research on online job scheduling, where processors are allowed to vary the speed dynamically so as to save energy whenever pos...
