While desktop grids are attractive platforms for executing parallel applications, their volatile nature has often limited their use to so-called “high-throughput” applications...
It is often difficult to perform efficiently a collection of jobs with complex job dependencies due to temporal unpredictability of the grid. One way to mitigate the unpredictabili...
