Strategies are developed for “fattening” the tasks of computation-dags so as to accommodate the heterogeneity of remote clients in Internet-based computing (IC). Earlier work ...
Consider a heterogeneous cluster system, consisting of processors with varying processing capabilities and network links with varying bandwidths. Given a DAG application to be sch...
— A schedule is said robust if it is able to absorb some degree of uncertainty in tasks duration while maintaining a stable solution. This intuitive notion of robustness has led ...
In parallel and distributed processing, tasks are ordinarily clustered and assigned to different processors or machines before they are scheduled. The assignment of tasks to proc...
This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
