Opis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2004, held in New York, NY in June 2004.

The 15 revised full research papers presented together with a report on scheduling on the Top 50 machines went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Various current issues in job scheduling and load balancing are addressed in the context of computing clusters, parallel and distributed systems, multi-processor systems, and supercomputers.
