In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
Desktop Grids are rapidly gaining popularity as a costeffective computing platform for the execution of applications with extensive computing needs. As opposed to grids and cluste...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
The simulation of large grids requires the generation of grid instances and an approximation of grid components’ behaviour. To generate grid instances, this paper outlines a set...
Abstract. We address parallel jobs scheduling problem for computational GRID systems. We concentrate on two-level hierarchy scheduling: at the first level broker allocates computa...
