Although grid computing offers great potential for executing large-scale bioinformatics applications, practical deployment is constrained by legacy interfaces. Most widely deployed...
We propose information aggregation as a method for summarizing the resource-related information, used by the task scheduler. Through this method the information of a set of resour...
The MPI programming model hides network type and topology from developers, but also allows them to seamlessly distribute a computational job across multiple cores in both an intra ...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
—Despite extensive research focused on enabling QoS for grid users through economic and intelligent resource provisioning, no consensus has emerged on the most promising strategi...
