An Improved Model for Computing-Intensive Tasks on Heterogeneous Workstations
邬延辉, 陆鑫达 · 上海交通大学学报：英文版 · 2004
An improved algorithm, which solves cooperative concurrent computing tasks using the idle cycles of a number of high performance heterogeneous workstations interconnected through a high-speed network, was proposed. In order to get better parallel computation performance, this paper gave a model and an algorithm of task scheduling among heterogeneous workstations, in which the costs of loading data, computing, communication and collecting results are considered. Using this efficient algorithm, an optimal subset of heterogeneous workstations with the shortest parallel executing time of tasks can be selected.
