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...
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, ...
—The increasing demand for resources of the high performance computing systems has led to new forms of collaboration of distributed systems such as interoperable grid systems tha...
Heterogeneous computing environments have become attractive platforms to schedule computationally intensive jobs. We consider the problem of mapping independent tasks onto machines...
