Task graph scheduling has been found effective in performance prediction and optimization of parallel applications. A number of static scheduling algorithms have been proposed for...
MapReduce is emerging as an important programming model for large-scale data-parallel applications such as web indexing, data mining, and scientific simulation. Hadoop is an open-...

Desktop Grids have become very popular nowadays, with projects that include hundred of thousands computers. Desktop grid scheduling faces two challenges. First, the platform is vo...
Using a directed acyclic graph (dag) model of algorithms, we solve a problem related to precedenceconstrained multiprocessor schedules for array computations: Given a sequence of ...
Materialized views (MV) can significantly improve the query performance of relational databases. In this paper, we consider MVs to optimize complex scenarios where many heterogen...
