Abstract Workflows are prevailing in scientific computation. Multicluster environments emerge and provide more resources, benefiting workflows but also challenging the traditional ...
Most parallel computing resources are controlled by batch schedulers that place requests for computation in a queue until access to compute nodes is granted. Queue waiting times a...
Instruction Balanced Time Slicing IBTS allows multiple parallel jobs to be scheduled in a manner akin to the well-known gang scheduling scheme in parallel computers. IBTS however a...
Queueing networks are gaining attraction for the performance analysis of parallel computer systems. A Jackson network is a set of interconnected servers, where the completion of a...
