We introduce a new method to estimate the Java object activity in a distributed context of irregular applications. This method uses an observation mechanism which is itself a part...
Mapping data to parallel computers aims at minimizing the execution time of the associated application. However, it can take an unacceptable amount of time in comparison with the ...

Consider a heterogeneous cluster system, consisting of processors with varying processing capabilities and network links with varying bandwidths. Given a DAG application to be sch...
Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
