Efficient use and high output of any supercomputer depends on a great number of factors. The problem of controlling granted resource utilization is one of those, and becomes especially noticeable in conditions of concurrent work of many user projects. It is important to provide users with detailed information on peculiarities of their executed jobs. At the same time it is important to provide p...

This paper presents a state of the art overview on Ants Systems. Initially the work proposes the fundamental concepts of Ants Theory and offers a description of the main algorithms (based on Ants Theory) and the respective fields of application. Among different fields of application, the paper focuses on industrial plants scheduling problems in open shop, flow shop and job shop systems. The las...

With the expansion of internet to advertise, the number of potential channels is increasing every day. In the Human Resource domain, recruiters have to choose between hundreds of job search web sites when they post a job offer on the internet. In order to save costs, assessing job board expected performance has become necessary. In this paper, three recommender systems providing job board perfo...

The advent of the internet has facilitated greater access to the myriad of job opportunities available globally. Currently there exist many job application submission portals that are being used for online job recruitment purposes. However, the task of many of these job submission portals is limited to matching the professional and academic qualifications of applicants with the requirements of ...

In most parallel supercomputers, submitting a job for execution involves specifying (i) how many processors are to be allocated to the job, and (ii) for how long these processors are to be available to the job. Since most jobs are moldable (i.e. there is a choice on how many processors the job uses), the user typically has to decide how many processors to ask for a given job, and estimate the r...

Submission of multiple jobs in a distributed and heterogeneous environment is required by applications that rely on the ”public-resource computing” paradigm. We present here a scientific scenario for the analysis of astronomical data, where some nodes are responsible for maintaining and advertising job description files and other so called worker nodes, are dispersed over the Grid to execute th...

The Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) scheduling policy was proven, in the 1960s, to yield the smallest mean response time, and recently it was proven its performance gain over Processor Sharing (PS) usually does not come at the expense of large jobs. However, despite the many advantages of SRPT scheduling, it is not widely applied. One important reason for the sporadic application of S...

Computer job scheduling is often performed with little understanding of the formal properties of the jobs being scheduled. One reason for this is that optimal solutions for job scheduling on computers are difficult to obtain if the job stream has mixed objectives, i.e., it consists of some jobs whose turnaround time has to be minimized and others whose deadlines must be met. A practical algorit...

Workflow technology is an emerging paradigm for systematic modeling and orchestration of job flow for enterprise and scientific applications. This paper introduces BPEL4Job, a BPEL-based design for fault handling of job flow in a distributed computing environment. The features of the proposed design include: a two-stage approach for job flow modeling that separates base flow structure from faul...
