This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...
An important part of a distributed system design is the workload sharing among the processors. This includes partitioningthe arriving jobs into tasks that can be executed in paral...
Heterogeneous clusters and grid infrastructures are becoming increasingly popular. In these computing infrastructures, machines have different resources, including memory sizes, d...
The TeraGrid is a closely linked community of diverse resources: computational, data, and experimental, e.g., the imminent very large computational system at the University of Tex...

We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
