Title of dissertation : EXPLOITING IDLE CYCLES IN NETWORS OF WORKSTATIONS
Title of dissertation: EXPLOITING IDLE CYCLES IN NETWORS OF WORKSTATIONS Kyung Dong Ryu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2001 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Jeffrey K. Hollingsworth Department of Computer Science Studies have shown that workstations are idle a significant fraction of the time. Traditional idle resource harvesting systems define a social contract that permits guest jobs to ...
متن کاملExploiting Fine-Grained Idle Periods in Networks of Workstations
ÐStudies have shown that for a significant fraction of the time, workstations are idle. In this paper, we present a new scheduling policy called Linger-Longer that exploits the fine-grained availability of workstations to run sequential and parallel jobs. We present a two-level workload characterization study and use it to simulate a cluster of workstations running our new policy. We compare tw...
متن کاملThe Utility of Exploiting Idle Memory for Data-Intensive Computations
In this paper, we examine the utility of exploiting idle memory in workstation pools. We attempt to answer the following questions. First, given a workstation pool, what fraction of the memory can be expected to be idle? This provides an estimate of the opportunity for hosting guest data. Second, what fraction of a individual host' s memory can be expected to be idle? This helps determine the r...
متن کاملUtilizing Idle Workstations
The decreasing cost of personal workstations over recent years has led to their proliferation in computing environments. Studies have shown that personal workstations are under-utilized for long periods of time during regular working hours. This paper identiies this under-utilization as the idle-workstation problem. A taxonomy of computational models of systems that have attempted to solve the ...
متن کاملParallel Computation for Chromosome Reconstruction on a Cluster of Workstations
Reconstructing a physical map of a chromosome from a genomic library presents a central computational problem in genetics. Physical map reconstruction in the presence of errors is a problem of high computational complexity which provides the motivation for parallel computing. Parallelization strategies for a maximum likelihood estimation-based approach to physical map reconstruction are present...
