Most space-sharing parallel computers presently operated by high-performance computing centers use batch-queuing systems to manage processor allocation. Because these machines are...
In a Computational Grid which consists of many computer clusters, job start time predictions are useful to guide resource selections and balance the workload distribution. However...

Scheduling jobs on the IBM SP2 system is usually done by giving each job a partition of the machine for its exclusive use. Allocating such partitions in the order that the jobs ar...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Queueing delays experienced by packets buffered at a node are among the most difficult to predict when considering the performance of a flow in a network. The arrivals of packets a...
