Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm for scheduling communication-intensive parallel applications in workstation clusters environment. The proposed scheduling policy combines the best attributes of both space-sharing and time-sharing principles and coexists with local schedulers (e.g., the Windows NT scheduler), which both provides coordinated scheduling and can generalise to provide a wide range of resource abstractions
