We study a class of scheduling problems which combines the structural aspects associated with task dependencies, with the dynamic aspects associated with ongoing streams of request...
- Processor scheduling in distributed-memory systems has received considerable attention in recent years. Several commercial distributed-memory systems use spacesharing processor s...
Workflow technology is an emerging paradigm for systematic modeling and orchestration of job flow for enterprise and scientific applications. This paper introduces BPEL4Job, a BPEL...
We define CWS, a non-preemptive scheduling policy for workloads with correlated job sizes. CWS tackles the scheduling problem by inferring the expected sizes of upcoming jobs bas...
Size-based policies have been known to successfully balance load and improve performance in homogeneous cluster environments where a dispatcher assigns a job to a server strictly ...
