Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
Gang Scheduling and related techniques are widely believed to be necessary for efficientjob scheduling on distributed memory parallel computers. This is hecause they minimize cont...
Uniprocessor schedulability theory made great strides, in part, due to the simplicity of composing the delay of a job from the execution times of higher-priority jobs that preempt...
Effective use of communication networks is critical to the performance and scalability of parallel applications. Partitioned Global Address Space languages like UPC bring the pro...
