Author retrospective of Dynamic application scheduling using on-line analytics
Rich Wolski · 2014
This paper attempts, retrospectively, to frame results originally published in the 1998 edition of the ACM International Conference on Supercomputing in the present context. The article entitled "Application Level Scheduling of Gene Sequence Comparison on Metacomputers" described the use of on-line performance prediction to adapt, dynamically, the execution schedule of a gene sequencing code to fluctuating performance conditions in the wide area. This retrospective discusses those results in light of recent technological developments in large-scale, wide area distributed computing.
