We study the problem of efficiently allocating incoming independent tasks onto the resources of a Grid system. Typically, it is assumed that the estimated time to compute each task...
This paper is devoted to scheduling a large collection of independent tasks onto heterogeneous clusters. The tasks depend upon (input) files which initially reside on a master pro...
We study the problem of scheduling independent tasks on a set of related processors which have a probability of failure governed by an exponential law. We are interested in the bi-...
Abstract. This paper is devoted to scheduling a large collection of independent tasks onto a distributed heterogeneous platform, which is composed of a set of servers. Each server ...
Heterogeneity has been considered in scheduling, but without taking into account the temporal variation of completion times of the sub-tasks for a divisible, independent task. In ...
