Abstract In this paper, we focus on the problem of scheduling batches of identical task graphs on a heterogeneous platform, when the task graph consists in a tree. We rely on stead...
Efficient multisite job scheduling facilitates the cooperation of multi-domain massively parallel processor systems in a computing grid environment. However, co-allocation, hetero...
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...
Task Scheduling is a critical design issue of distributed computing. The emerging Grid computing infrastructure consists of heterogeneous resources in widely distributed autonomous...
