Chengbin Fan, Hui Qiong Deng, Feng Wang, Shoulin Wei, Wei Dai, Bo Liang · 2015
Heterogeneous computing system is one of the focuses researched in the field of distributed computing nowadays. It is composed of various heterogeneous processors interconnected with high-speed networks. And it can acquire rapid processing of computationally intensive applications to meet diverse computing needs. In heterogeneous computing system, it is a key issue for high performance computing to schedule tasks and allocate nodes properly. In this paper, first I introduce the problem of task scheduling and describe four kinds of task scheduling methods. Next I analyze the basic ideas of some representative task scheduling algorithms in heterogeneous computing system and describe their performance. Then I compare these four methods and analyse their advantages and disadvantages. Finally I give a conclusion and the future work on heterogeneous computing system.
