Model and algorithm for heterogeneous scheduling integrated with energy-efficiency awareness:

Enabled to provide pervasive access to distributed resources in parallel ways, heterogeneous scheduling is applied extensively in large-scale computing systems for high performance. Conventional real-time scheduling algorithms, however, disregard energy efficiency in addition to stringent timing constraints. In recognition of green computing, an energy-aware model is first presented. Second, inspired by multi-disciplines, the meta-heuristic is addressed based on the supercomputer hybrid architecture. On the other hand, some technological breakthroughs are achieved, including boundary conditions for different heterogeneous computing and grid scheduling and descriptions of real-time variation of scheduling indexes (stringent timing and energy constraints). Extensive simulator and simulation experiments highlight higher efficacy and better scalability for the proposed approaches compared with the other three meta-heuristics; the overall improvements achieve 8%, 12% and 14% for high-dimension instances, respe...
