Many parallel applications from scientific computing use MPI collective communication operations to collect or distribute data. Since the execution times of these communication op...
When users' tasks in a distributed heterogeneous computing environment (e.g., cluster of heterogeneous computers) are allocated resources, the total demand placed on some sys...
