+\li Optimal algorithms for scheduling divisible workloads on
heterogeneous systems\n
by Olivier Beaumont and Arnaud Legrand and Yves Robert\n
- In this paper, we discuss several algorithms for scheduling
- divisible loads on heterogeneous systems. Our main contributions
- are (i) new optimality results for single-round algorithms and (ii)
- the design of an asymptotically optimal multi-round algorithm. This
- multi-round algorithm automatically performs resource selection, a
- difficult task that was previously left to the user. Because it is
- periodic, it is simpler to implement, and more robust to changes in
- the speeds of processors or communication links. On the theoretical
- side, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first published
- result assessing the absolute performance of a multi-round
- algorithm. On the practical side, extensive simulations reveal
- that our multi-round algorithm outperforms existing solutions on a
- large variety of platforms, especially when the
- communication-to-computation ratio is not very high (the difficult
- case).\n
