Abstract Workflows are prevailing in scientific computation. Multicluster environments emerge and provide more resources, benefiting workflows but also challenging the traditional ...
In this paper, we present an Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)-based decentralized allocation enforcement system, developed with an emphasis on a consistent data model and ea...
Loop distribution is one of the most useful techniques to reduce the execution time of parallel applications. Traditionally, loop scheduling algorithms are implemented based on pa...
The Grid is realizing the vision of providing computation as utility: computation jobs can be scheduled on-demand in Grid hosts based on available computation capacity. In this pa...
Traditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supportingonly one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes&qu...
