In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
—this paper studies the influence that task placement may have on the performance of applications, mainly due to the relationship between communication locality and overhead. Thi...
