Abstract:

Distributed systems such as Grid- and Cloud Computing provision web services to their users in all of the world. One of the most important concerns which service providers encounter is to handle total cost of ownership (TCO). The large part of TCO is related to power consumption due to inefficient resource management. Task scheduling module as a key component can has drastic impact on both user response time and underlying resource utilization. Such heterogeneous distributed systems have interconnected different processors with different speed and architecture. Also, the user application which is typically presented in the form of directed acyclic graph (DAG) must be executed on this type of parallel processing systems. Since task scheduling in such complicated systems belongs to NP-hard problems, existing heuristic approaches are no longer efficient. Therefore, the trend is to apply hybrid meta-heuristic approaches. In this paper, we extend a meta-heuristic shuffled genetic-based task scheduling algorithm to minimize total execution time, makespan, of user application. In this regard, we take benefit of other heuristics such as Heterogeneous Earliest Finish Time (HEFT) approach to generate smart initial population by applying a new shuffle operator which makes a fortune to explore feasible and promising individuals in the search space. We also conduct other genetic operators in right way to produce final near to optimal solution. To reach concrete results we have conducted several scenarios. Our proposed algorithm outperforms in term of average makespan compared with other existing approaches such as HEFT versions and QGARAR.

An Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Task Scheduling on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Based on TRIZ

An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...

Task Scheduling Algorithm for High Performance Heterogeneous Distributed Computing Systems

The main objective of task scheduling is to assign tasks onto available processors with the aim of producing minimum schedule length and without violating the precedence constraints. Several algorithms have been proposed for solving task-scheduling problem. The most of them doesn't take into account the average communication of parents and data ready time. In this paper, a new static scheduling...

A Task Duplication Based Scheduling Algorithm for Heterogeneous Systems

Optimal scheduling of tasks of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) onto a set of processors is a strong NP-hard problem. In this paper we present a scheduling scheme called TDS to schedule tasks of a DAG onto a heterogeneous system. This models a network of workstations, with processors of varying computing power. The primary objective of this scheme is to minimize schedule length and scheduling tim...
