—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
Gang Scheduling and related techniques are widely believed to be necessary for efficientjob scheduling on distributed memory parallel computers. This is hecause they minimize cont...
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
Traditionally, scheduling in high-end parallel systems focuses on how to minimize the average job waiting time and on how to maximize the overall system utilization. Despite the d...
Real-time systems are often designed using preemptive scheduling and worst-case execution time estimates to guarantee the execution of high priority tasks. There is, however, an i...
