In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating and scheduling a collection of independent, equal-sized tasks on heterogeneous star-shaped platforms. We also address the same...
Heterogeneous distributed environments or grid environments provide large computing resources for the execution of large scientific applications. The effective use of those plat...
Recently, we presented two very low-cost approaches to compile-time list scheduling where the tasks’ priorities are computed statically or dynamically, respectively. For homogen...
Desktop Grids have become very popular nowadays, with projects that include hundred of thousands computers. Desktop grid scheduling faces two challenges. First, the platform is vo...
