—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
Work stealing is a popular method of scheduling fine-grained parallel tasks. The performance of work stealing has been extensively studied, both theoretically and empirically, but...

This paper presents a system deployed on parallel clusters to manage a collection of parallel simulations that make up a computational study. It explores how such a system can ext...
' An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is...
