      Having a precise and a fast job scheduler model that resembles the real-machine job scheduling software behavior is extremely important in the field of job scheduling. The idea behind SLURM simulator is preserving the ...
    • Holistic slowdown driven scheduling and resource management for malleable jobs 

      D'Amico, Marco; Jokanovic, Ana; Corbalán González, Julita (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In job scheduling, the concept of malleability has been explored since many years ago. Research shows that malleability improves system performance, but its utilization in HPC never became widespread. The causes are the ...
    • Nature inspired meta-heuristics for grid scheduling: single and multi-objective optimization approaches 

      Abraham, Ajith; Liu, Hongbo; Grosan, Crina; Xhafa Xhafa, Fatos (Springer, 2008)
      Capítol de llibre
      Accés obert
      In this chapter, we review a few important concepts from Grid computing related to scheduling problems and their resolution using heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches. Scheduling problems are at the heart of any Grid-like ...
