In this paper we present an algorithm for scheduling parallel applications that consist of a divisible workload. Our algorithm uses multiple rounds to overlap communication and co...
In this paper, we assess the impact of heterogeneity on scheduling independent tasks on master-slave platforms. We assume a realistic one-port model where the master can communica...
In this paper, we consider the communications involved in the execution of a complex application, deployed on a heterogeneous platform. Such applications extensively use macro-com...
Desktop Grids have proved to be a suitable platform for the execution of Bag-of-Tasks applications but, being characterized by a high resource volatility, require the availability ...
