To fully exploit multicore processors, applications are expected to provide a large degree of thread-level parallelism. While adequate for low core counts and their typical worklo...
Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
In the context of computational grids, a metascheduler is the service responsible for scheduling jobs across many geographically distributed processor clusters. Typically, these s...
