About

The 16th International Workshop on Scheduling and Resource Management for Parallel and Distributed Systems will be held in Edmonton, AB, Canada, in conjunction with the ICPP’20 - 2020 International Conference on Parallel Processing.

Resource management and scheduling is a crucial task on large-scale computing systems. It plays an essential role in the optimization of resources usage. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of resource scheduling and resource management to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of scheduling and resource management in parallel and distributed systems including Grids and Clouds.

List of Topics

Resource allocation and management
Advance resource reservation and scheduling
Load sharing and Load balancing techniques
Network resource allocation
Fault-tolerant resource management approaches
Data access and management
Scheduling data intensive jobs
Scheduling on heterogeneous nodes
Time slicing, gang, or co-scheduling
Fairness, priorities, and accounting Issues
Performance implications of scheduling strategies
Performance metrics to compare scheduling schemes
Virtualization of resources
Energy-Aware Resource Management and Scheduling

Venue

The workshop will be held in Edmonton, AB, Canada, on August 17, in conjunction with the ICPP’20 - 2020 International Conference on Parallel Processing.

Program

Events will be held on August 17th virtually. All time is UTC!!!.

The keynote will be live presentation. After the keynote, each paper will have 5 minutes to briefly introduce their work(Compiled Slides). We assume that our audience has watched the full presentation recording before the workshop. We start Q & A for all papers, after all 5-minutes teaser talk.
