A New Approach to Scheduling Parallel Programs Using Task Duplication
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 In this paper, we explore the problem of scheduling parallel programs using task duplication for message-passing multicomputers. Task duplication means scheduling a parallel program by redundantly executing some of the tasks on which other tasks of the program critically depend. This can reduce the start times of tasks waiting for messages from tasks residing in other processors. There have been a few scheduling algorithms using task duplication. We discuss two such previously reported algorithms and describe their differences, limitations and suitability for different environments. A new algorithm is proposed which outperforms both of these algorithms, and is more efficient for low as well as high values of communication-to-computation ratios. The algorithm takes into account arbitrary computation and communication costs. All three algorithms are tested by scheduling some of the commonly encountered graph structures.

—In this paper, we propose to use a duplication based approach in scheduling tasks to a heterogeneous cluster of PCs. In duplication based scheduling, critical tasks are redundantly scheduled to more than one machine in order to reduce the number of inter-task communication operations. The start times of the succeeding tasks are also reduced. The task duplication process is guided given the sys...

Task graph scheduling is the important factor which occurs in the multiprocessor system. There is problem solving technique called NP complete which is the optimal scheduling of parallel tasks with some precedence relationship onto parallel machines and can be solved only by using heuristic approach. The execution time requirements of the applications tasks are assumed to be stochastic. Genetic...
