The performance of contiguous allocation strategies can be significantly affected by the distribution of job execution times. In this paper, the performance of the existing contigu...
Abstract--The provision of Quality of Service in Grid environments is still an open issue that needs attention from the research community. One way of contributing to the provision...
In the framework of GridRPC, a new function that allows direct data transfer between RPC servers is implemented for efficient execution of a Task Sequencing job in a grid environ...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Multi-cluster schedulers can dramatically improve average job turn-around time performance by making use of fragmented node resources available throughout the grid. By carefully m...
