Proponents of utility-based scheduling policies have shown the potential for a 100–1400% increase in value-delivered to users when used in lieu of traditional approaches such as...
Many storage systems are shared by multiple clients with different types of workloads and performance targets. To achieve performance targets without over-provisioning, a system ...
Evolution of grid has drawn attention from various resource intensive applications addressing domains of bio-informatics, astrology and multimedia, to name a few. Image analysis a...
Our main goal in this paper is to study the scheduling of parallel BSP tasks on clusters of computers. We focus our attention on special characteristics of BSP tasks, which can use...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
