In future large-scale multi-core microprocessors, hard errors and process variations will create dynamic heterogeneity, causing performance and power characteristics to differ amo...
Computational grids clusters, provide powerful computing resources for executing applications of large scale. In Grid (clusters) usually several applications run simultaneously.Th...
Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) virtual machines (VMs) allow users to take advantage of a multiprocessor infrastructure. Despite the advantage, SMP VMs can cause synchronization l...
Over the last decade and a half, tabu search algorithms for machine scheduling have gained a near-mythical reputation by consistently equaling or establishing state-of-the-art per...
