We consider the problem of supertasking in Pfair-scheduled multiprocessor systems. In this approach, a set of tasks, called component tasks, is assigned to a server task, called a...
Usher is a virtual machine management system designed to impose few constraints upon the computing environment under its management. Usher enables administrators to choose how the...
In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm, called CASS-II, for task clustering without task duplication. Unlike the DSC algorithm, which is empirically the best known algor...
It is important to identify scalability constraints in existing job scheduling software as they are applied to next generation parallel systems. In this paper, we analyze the scala...

Traditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supportingonly one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes&qu...
