This paper describes how Condor-pools could be joined together to form a large computational cluster-grid. In the architecture Jini provides the infrastructure for resource lookup,...
In this paper two scheduling models are addressed. First is the standard model (unicast) where requests (or jobs) are independent. The other is the broadcast model where broadcast...
The past few years have witnessed a number of interesting online algorithms for deadline scheduling in the dynamic speed scaling model (in which a processor can vary its speed to ...
While standard parallel machine scheduling is concerned with good assignments of jobs to machines, we aim to understand how the quality of an assignment is affected if the jobs’...
We study an on-line broadcast scheduling problem in which requests have deadlines, and the objective is to maximize the weighted throughput, i.e., the weighted total length of the ...
