The Stealth distributed scheduler
Phillip Krueger, R. Chawla · 2002
The justification, design, and performance of the Stealth distributed scheduler is discussed. The goal of Stealth is to exploit the unused computing capacity of a workstation-based distributed system (WDS) without undermining the predictability in quality of service that a WDS provides to workstation owners. It is shown that the liberal approach taken by the Stealth distributed scheduler is a promising method of exploiting the vast quantity of unused computing capacity typically present in a WDS, while preserving predictability of service for workstation owners.>
