Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Enterprise a Market-Like Task Scheduler for Distributed Computing Environments
In this paper we describe a prototype system called Enterprise that addresses those problems and present the results of analyzing one aspect of the problem of resource scheduling. Namely the scheduling of tasks on processors. This analysis was based on simulations of several alternative task scheduling algorithms operating under various network configurations and load conditions. Although we have focused on decentralized methods for scheduling tasks, our results on this topic are applicable to many forms of parallel computation, regardless of whether or not the processors are geographically separated and whether or not they share memory.
