Scheduling Non-Contiguous Tape Retrievals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large data installations normally archive relatively inactive data to a near-line tape library. The tape library performs reasonably well for sequential-access retrieval workloads. However, if the retrieval access slices across multiple data sets, or makes retrievals from scattered portions of a large data set, then the performance can suffer

On contiguous and non-contiguous parallel task scheduling
In this paper we study differences between contiguous and non-contiguous parallel task schedules. Parallel tasks can be executed on more than one processor simultaneously. In the contiguous schedules indices of the processors assigned to a task must be a sequence of consecutive numbers. In the non-contiguous schedules processor indices may be arbitrary. Nonpreemptive schedules are considered. G...
متن کاملThe Effect of Real Workloads and Synthetic Workloads on the Performance of Job Scheduling for Non-Contiguous Allocation in 2D Mesh Multicomputers
The performance of non-contiguous allocation has been traditionally carried out by means of simulations based on synthetic workloads, and also it can be significantly affected by the job scheduling strategy used for determining the order in which jobs are selected for execution. To validate the performance of the noncontiguous allocation algorithms, there has been a need to evaluate the algorit...
متن کاملA Fast and Efficient Processor Allocation Strategy which Combines a Contiguous and Non-contiguous Processor Allocation Algorithms
Two strategies are used for the allocation of jobs to processors connected by mesh topologies: contiguous allocation and non-contiguous allocation. In non-contiguous allocation, a job request can be split into smaller parts that are allocated possibly non-adjacent free sub-meshes rather than always waiting until a single submesh of the requested size and shape is available. Lifting the contigui...
متن کاملPower Optimal Non-contiguous Spectrum Access in Multi Front End Radio Enabled Point-to-Point Link
Non-contiguous spectrum chunks allow wireless links to flexibly access a wide amount of bandwidth. MultiChannel Multi-Radio (MC-MR) and Non-Contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NC-OFDM) are the two commercially viable strategies to access non-contiguous spectrum chunks. MC-MR accesses multiple non-contiguous chunks by activating multiple front ends which, in turn, increases th...
