One of the first motivations of using grids comes from applications managing large data sets in field such as high energy physics or life sciences. To improve the global throughput...
High-performance parallel file systems are needed to satisfy tremendous I/O requirements of parallel scientific applications. The design of such high-performance parallel file ...
Abstract Workflows are prevailing in scientific computation. Multicluster environments emerge and provide more resources, benefiting workflows but also challenging the traditional ...
—The increasing attention on global scheduling algorithms for identical multiprocessor platforms produced different, independently developed, schedulability tests. However, the e...
The performance of contiguous allocation strategies can be significantly affected by the distribution of job execution times. In this paper, the performance of the existing contigu...
