title = "Enhanced real-time divisible load scheduling with different processor available times",
abstract = "Providing QoS and performance guarantees for arbitrarily divisible loads in a cluster has become a significant problem. While progress is being made in scheduling arbitrarily divisible loads, some of the proposed approaches may cause Inserted Idle Times (IITs) that are detrimental to system performance. Two contributions are made in addressing this problem. First, we propose two constraints that, when satisfied, lead to an optimal partitioning in utilizing IITs. Second, we integrate the new partitioning method with a previous approach and develop an enhanced algorithm that better utilizes IITs. Simulation results demonstrate the advantages of our new approach.",
