Imprecise computations provide an avenue for scheduling algorithms developed for energy-constrained computing devices by trading off output quality with the utilization of system resources. This work proposes a method for scheduling task…

Clusters of topologically connected calorimeter cells around cells with large absolute signal-to-noise ratio (topo-clusters) are the basis for calorimeter signal reconstruction in the ATLAS experiment. Topological cell clustering has proven…

Task graphs have been studied for decades as a foundation for scheduling irregular parallel applications and incorporated in programming models such as OpenMP. While many high-performance parallel libraries are based on task graphs, they…

In this paper we study the limitations of parallelization in convex optimization. A convenient approach to study parallelization is through the prism of \emph{adaptivity} which is an information theoretic measure of the parallel runtime of…

In this paper we develop optimal algorithms in the binary-forking model for a variety of fundamental problems, including sorting, semisorting, list ranking, tree contraction, range minima, and ordered set union, intersection and difference.…

Modern computing workloads are often composed of parallelizable jobs. A parallelizable job can be completed more quickly when run on additional servers. However, each job can only use a limited number of servers, known as its…

Researchers working on the automatic parallelization of programs have long known that too much parallelism can be even worse for performance than too little, because spawning a task to be run on another CPU incurs overheads.…

We describe in this paper a new method for building an efficient algorithm for scheduling jobs in a cluster. Jobs are considered as parallel tasks (PT) which can be scheduled on any number of processors. The main feature is to consider two…

There are two intertwined factors that affect performance of concurrent data structures: the ability of processes to access the data in parallel and the cost of synchronization. It has been observed that for a large class of…

We present a new approach to fault tolerance for High Performance Computing system. Our approach is based on a careful adaptation of the Algorithmic Based Fault Tolerance technique (Huang and Abraham, 1984) to the need of parallel…

We consider the problem of efficiently scheduling jobs with precedence constraints on a set of identical machines in the presence of a uniform communication delay. Such precedence-constrained jobs can be modeled as a directed acyclic graph,…

This paper focuses on the problem of coflow scheduling with precedence constraints in identical parallel networks, which is a well-known $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem. Coflow is a relatively new network abstraction used to characterize…

Most of the prior work in massively parallel data processing assumes homogeneity, i.e., every computing unit has the same computational capability, and can communicate with every other unit with the same latency and bandwidth. However, this…

In this paper, we proposed an effective approach for scheduling of multiprocessor unit time tasks with chain precedence on to large multiprocessor system. The proposed longest chain maximum processor scheduling algorithm is proved to be…

Scheduling problems are fundamental in combinatorial optimization. Much work has been done on approximation algorithms for NP-hard cases, but relatively little is known about exact solutions when some part of the input is a fixed parameter.…

We present a number of novel algorithms, based on mathematical optimization formulations, in order to solve a homogeneous multiprocessor scheduling problem, while minimizing the total energy consumption. In particular, for a system with a…

We investigate deterministic non-preemptive online scheduling with delayed commitment for total completion time minimization on parallel identical machines. In this problem, jobs arrive one-by-one and their processing times are revealed…

Data processing systems offer an ever increasing degree of parallelism on the levels of cores, CPUs, and processing nodes. Query optimization must exploit high degrees of parallelism in order not to gradually become the bottleneck of query…

The (Non-Preemptive) Throughput Maximization problem is a natural and fundamental scheduling problem. We are given $n$ jobs, where each job $j$ is characterized by a processing time and a time window, contained in a global interval $[0,T)$,…

We study the scheduling of jobs on a single parallel-batching machine with non-identical job sizes and incompatible job families. Jobs from the same family have the same processing time and can be loaded into a batch, as long as the batch…
