A decentralized task scheduling algorithm and its performance modeling for computer networks
A dynamic taskschedulingalgorithm,that isstable,decentralized,and adaptivetonetwork topology,ispresented. Theproposedalgorithmisanextensionofnearestneighbor loadbalancingstrategywithanenhanceddegreeofefJiciencyand itisintendedformulticomputersconnectedbyastore andforward communicationnetwork. Theproposedalgorithm ismodeledby a central server openqueuingnetwork. It is shown that the responsetime of a task consistsof two parts. Thefirstpart comprisesa task‘ssettling time which consistsofscheduling time,communication time,and waiting timeinscheduling and communicationqueues. Thesecond part compriseswaiting time in the executionqueue in theexecutiontimeitself.Inordertoreducethefirstresponse time,thescheduling algorithmneeds tobe stable,so that a taskisquicklysettledat somenode.
