We present a decomposition strategy to speed up constraint optimization for a representative multiprocessor scheduling problem. In the manner of Benders decomposition, our techniq...
Abstract. The Grid Modeling and Simulation (GridSim) toolkit provides a comprehensive facility for simulation of application scheduling in different Grid computing environments. H...
Desktop Grids have emerged as an important methodology to harness the idle cycles of millions of participant desktop PCs over the Internet. However, to effectively utilize the res...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Abstract--The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replicati...
