The utility of exploiting idle workstations for parallel computation
1997
Proceedings of the 1997 ACM SIGMETRICS international conference on Measurement and modeling of computer systems - SIGMETRICS '97
In this paper, we examine the utility of exploiting idle workstations for parallel computation. We attempt to answer the following questions. First, given a workstation pool, for what fraction of time can we expect to nd a cluster of k workstations available? This provides an estimate of the opportunity for parallel computation. Second, how stable is a cluster of free machines and how does the stability vary with the size of the cluster? This indicates how frequently a parallel computation
