MCT is a widely used heuristic for scheduling tasks onto grid platforms. However, when dealing with many tasks, MCT tends to dramatically delay already mapped task completion time...
Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are share...
Edge-finding algorithms for cumulative scheduling are at the core of commercial constraint-based schedulers. This paper shows that Nuijten's edge finder for cumulative schedu...
Many scheduling problems reside in uncertain and dynamic environments – tasks have a nonzero probability of failure and may need to be rescheduled. In these cases, an optimized ...
