We are developing Virtuoso, a system for distributed computing using virtual machines (VMs). Virtuoso must be able to mix batch and interactive VMs on the same physical hardware, ...
Online scheduling with a buffer is a semi-online problem which is strongly related to the basic online scheduling problem. Jobs arrive one by one and are to be assigned to paralle...
FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) are often used as coprocessors to boost the performance of dataintensive applications [1, 2]. However, mapping algorithms onto multimillion-...
The low cost and wide availability of networks of workstations have made them an attractive solution for high performance computing. However, while a network of workstations may be...
This paper studies a new generalization of the regular permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) referred to as the distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem or DPF...
