In this article a new algorithm for grid resource allocation based upon the theory of Algorithmic Mechanism Design (AMD) is presented. This algorithm is targeted at minimizing cost...
This paper presents a performance analysis of marketbased batch schedulers for clusters of workstations. In contrast to previous work, we use user-centric performance metrics as t...
Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
Traditionally, scheduling in high-end parallel systems focuses on how to minimize the average job waiting time and on how to maximize the overall system utilization. Despite the d...
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...
