| We consider the problem of efficiently executing a set of parallel jobs on a parallel machine by effectively scheduling the jobs on the computer's resources. This problem is one of optimization of resource utilization by parallel computing programs and/or the management of multi-users requests on a distributed system. An instance of the problem consists in a set of n independent jobs and a parallel machine with m identical processors. We assume that each job is parallelizable and can be executed on any number of processors. Various on-line scheduling strategies of time/space sharing are presented here. The goal is to assign jobs to processors in space and time such that the total execution time is optimized. |
