Abstract— We investigate the fairness and throughput properties of a simple distributed scheduling policy, maximal scheduling, in the context of a general ad-hoc wireless network...
Abstract. Increased power density, hot-spots, and temperature gradients are severe limiting factors for today’s state-of-the-art microprocessors. However, the flexibility offer...
Desktop Grids have emerged as an important methodology to harness the idle cycles of millions of participant desktop PCs over the Internet. However, to effectively utilize the res...
Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
Efficient job scheduling in grids is challenging due to the large number of distributed autonomous resources. In this paper we study various resource allocation policies in a 2-le...
