We propose a novel job scheduling approach for homogeneous cluster computing platforms. Its key feature is the use of virtual machine technology to share fractional node resources in a precise and controlled manner. Other VM-based scheduling ...

An alternative to classical fault-tolerant approaches for large-scale clusters is failure avoidance, by which the occurrence of a fault is predicted and a preventive measure is taken. We develop analytical performance models for two types of ...

Most parallel computing resources are controlled by batch schedulers that place requests for computation in a queue until access to compute nodes are granted. Queue waiting times are notoriously hard to predict, making it difficult for users not only ...

Desktop grids are popular platforms for high throughput applications, but due their inherent resource volatility it is difficult to exploit them for applications that require rapid turnaround. Efficient desktop grid execution of short-lived ...

2011 IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium, 2011 – IPDPS
Simulation is a popular approach for predicting the performance of MPI applications for platforms that are not at one's disposal. It is also a way to teach the principles of parallel programming and high-performance computing to students without ...

This paper discusses preliminary work on standardizing and implementing a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism for grid computing. The GridRPC API is designed to address one of the factors that has hindered widespread acceptance of grid computing -- ...

19th International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2005), 2005 – IPDPS
Divisible load applications consist of an amount of data and associated computation that can be divided arbitrarily into any number of independent pieces. Thismodel is a good approximation of many real-world scientific applications, lends itself to a ...
