We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
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...
Market-based compute grids encompass service providers offering limited resources to potential users with varying demands and willingness to pay. Providers face difficult decisions...
We study the problem of efficiently allocating incoming independent tasks onto the resources of a Grid system. Typically, it is assumed that the estimated time to compute each task...
This paper presents the support for user-defined metrics in the G-PM performance analysis tool. G-PM addresses the demand for aggressive optimisation of Grid applications by using ...
