We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

Abstract. Parallelizing a sequential algorithm—i.e., manually or automatically converting it into an equivalent parallel distributed algorithm—is an important problem. Ideally,...

1 In this paper, we explore the problem of scheduling parallel programs using task duplication for messagepassing multicomputers. Task duplication means scheduling a parallel progr...
SciCloud is a project studying the scope of establishing private clouds at universities. With these clouds, researchers can efficiently use the already existing resources in solvin...
Parallelism and concurrency have long been considered as non essential during the cursus of the average programmer. However, thanks to technological advances, new promising forms ...
