In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
An important part of a distributed system design is the workload sharing among the processors. This includes partitioningthe arriving jobs into tasks that can be executed in paral...
—The ever increasing scale and complexity of large computational systems ask for sophisticated management tools, paving the way toward Autonomic Computing. A first step toward A...
In this paper, we examine the concept of giving every job a trial run before committing it to run until completion. Trial runs allow immediate job failures to be detected shortly a...
