Scheduling for parallel computing is an interdisciplinary subject joining many fields, and the broadness of research yields an immense number and diversity of models for understanding scheduling problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis focused and useful book presents scheduling models for parallel processing, problems defined on the grounds of certain scheduling models, and algorithms solving the scheduling problems. As most of the scheduling problems are combinatorial in nature, the methodology of computational complexity theory is examined. Four examples of scheduling models are presented, along with problems and algorithms, before drawing conclusions on their mutual relationships. The book also provides helpful generalizations about scheduling models, their problems and algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics and features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the fundamental scheduling concepts and clarifies the relation between scheduling models, problems, algorithms, and schedules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the technological aspects of scheduling for parallel processing, demonstrating how highly abstract scheduling policies are determined by the underlying hardware and software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents the notions, concepts, and algorithms that are most immediately applicable in parallel processing, including relevant aspects of classic scheduling theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines the parallel task model, analyzing rigid, moldable, malleable tasks, and tasks with shape\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlines the methodology of computational complexity theory and introduces the basic metrics of parallel application performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores scheduling with communication delays, taking into account the costs of delays\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines scheduling divisible loads in systems with limited memory, various interconnection types, and cost of usage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and a helpful notation section\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis unique text will be a valuable resource for researchers in parallel computing, operating systems, management science, and applied mathematics.
