Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of distributed computing environments, particularly focusing on the development of a remote process and task scheduling mechanism called Enterprise. This mechanism effectively allocates tasks among processors within a network of personal computers to impr…ove processing speed and redundancy and simultaneously reduce reliance on dedicated server systems. Enterprise utilizes a 'market-like' approach, in which processors send 'requests for bids' on tasks to be completed, and other processors respond with bids including estimated completion times that reflect machine speed and files currently loaded. This approach allows for a more efficient and decentralized method of task scheduling and reduces the occurrence of bottlenecks caused by centralized decision-making. The book highlights the benefits of employing Enterprise's strategy within a distributed computing architecture by presenting a thorough analysis of the system and its algorithms. The analysis demonstrates that Enterprise significantly outperforms random assignment and more complex alternative scheduling methods. This book provides valuable insights into the design principles and performance analysis of distributed computing systems, making it an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in the field of computer science and distributed systems. Its exploration of innovative scheduling approaches offers a significant contribution to the advancement of distributed computing and sets the stage for future developments in the area. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a groundbreaking method for distributing tasks among processors in decentralized computing networks, such as networks of personal computers or large-scale cloud-based services. The method, called the Distributed Scheduling Protocol, leverages a simple bidding mechani…sm to effectively assign tasks to the most suitable processors, taking into account factors like speed and data availability. The author explores the protocol's performance in various scenarios, demonstrating its ability to significantly reduce mean flow time and improve overall system efficiency even with substantial message delays and imperfect processing time estimates. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the protocol and its alternatives, this book offers valuable insights into the design and implementation of decentralized scheduling systems, making it an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of distributed computing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
