M.Sc.
From juliano.info
I don't usually write about myself, but today is special and deserves an entry. I just got my Master's degree in Computer Science. From now on I'm a Master of Science, or M.Sc.
The abstract of my dissertation:
This work presents the project and implementation of the scheduling policy with process migration support JUMP. Process migration is an important tool that complements the initial placement performed by the scheduling policy in a distributed parallel environment, allowing for dynamic and more refined load balancing, resulting in better performance of the environment and shorter response time for distributed parallel applications. The new policy unifies initial placement and process migration in a single algorithm, enabling the sharing of decisions for the common goal of providing a better performance for CPU-bound applications in heterogeneous clusters. The policy is implemented over the dynamical and flexible environment AMIGO, adapted in order to support process migration. Performance evaluation showed that the new policy offers expressive gains in response times when compared to other two scheduling policies implemented in AMIGO in almost all scenarios, for different applications and different environment load situations.
My sincerest expression of gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Marcos José Santana, and to National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).
