We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...
We present an algorithm for scheduling distributed data intensive Bag-of-Task applications on Data Grids that have costs associated with requesting, transferring and processing da...
Abstract—Proportional Fair (PF) is a frequently used channelaware scheduling algorithm in 3G wireless networks. However, recent work by us and others has shown that, in practice,...
— A novel feedback mechanism is proposed in this paper to enhance the performance of load-balanced two-stage switches. The key idea is to properly select and coordinate the two s...
