Scenario: We need to assign a set of computational jobs, each with a specific processing time, across multiple identical machines. The goal is to minimize the makespan — the time taken by the machine ...

Abstract: Recently, many scientific researchers and applications work on large amounts of data or use high performance computing resources. A high performance cluster is developed to handle massively ...

From Computerworld Australia comes news that researchers at the University of Sydney have developed (and, sadly, patented) an algorithm that its inventors say will schedule jobs in a way that reduces ...

Abstract: Moldable jobs have the ability to dynamically adjust their resource requirements before execution, offering greater flexibility compared to rigid jobs that allocate fixed resources.

$$C_{max} = \max_{i \in M} \sum_{j \in J_i} p_{ij}$$; where $J_i$ is the subset of jobs assigned to machine $i$. We can make an intuitive analogy for this problem ...

Modifying any part of the Linux kernel source code is usually a challenging task most software developers would prefer to avoid, composed as it is thousands of code lines divided by hundred of files.
