Abstract:Currently, the User-PC computingsystem (UPC) has been studied as a low-cost and high-performance distributed computing platform. It uses idling resources of personal computers (PCs) in a group.The job-worker assignment for minimizing makespan is critical to determine the performance of the UPC system.Some applications need to execute a lot of uniform jobs that use the identical program but with slightly different data, where they take the similar CPU time on a PC. Then, the total CPU time of a worker is almost… Show more
“…The paper [9] investigates a User-PC computing system and presents a static assignment algorithm of uniform jobs to workers in such a system. For finding a lower bound on the makespan, the authors use simultaneous linear equations.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
