We consider networks of workstations which are not only timesharing, but also heterogeneous with a large variation in the computing power and memory capacities of different workst...
This paper examines load sharing in a network of workstations (NOW). It proposes a special load sharing method referred to as epoch load sharing. With this policy, load is evenly ...
Networks of workstations are fast becoming the standard environment for parallel applications. However, the use of “found” resources as a platform for tightly-coupled runtime ...
Adaptive load distribution is necessary for parallel applications to co-exist e ectively with other jobs in a network of shared, heterogeneous workstations. We present three metho...

Most applications share the resources of networked workstations with other applications. Since system load can vary dramatically, allocation strategies that assume that resources ...
