Resource Management with Dynamic Scheduling in Parallel and Distributed Real-time Systems

Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling vs. Batch Scheduling

We propose a novel job scheduling approach for homogeneous cluster computing platforms. Its key feature is the use of virtual machine technology to share fractional node resources in a precise and controlled manner. Other VM-based scheduling approaches have focused primarily on technical issues or on extensions to existing batch scheduling systems, while we take a more aggressive approach and s...

Dynamic scheduling on parallel

Feldmann, A., J. Sgall and S.-H. Teng, Dynamic scheduling on parallel machines, Theoretical Computer Science 130 (1994) 49-72. We study the problem of on-line job-scheduling on parallel machines with different network topologies. An on-line scheduling algorithm schedules a collection of parallel jobs with known resource requirements but unknown running times on a parallel machine. We give an O(...

Dynamic Scheduling in Systems with Complex Resource Allocation Requirements

Real world systems can be thought of as structures of activities that require resources in order to execute. Costs are reduced when resource levels are kept low, but this can lead to competition for resources that can cause poor system performance. Careful allocation of resources can improve system performance by enabling more efficient use of resources. This paper proposes that resource schedu...

Job Scheduling and Resource Management Techniques in Dynamic Grid Environments

Computational Grids are emerging as a new computing paradigm for solving grand challenge applications in science, engineering, and economics [1]. Grid development involves the efficient management of heterogeneous, geographically distributed, and dynamically available resources. In this environment, the resource broker (or scheduler) become one of the most critical components of the grid middle...
