We derive computationally efficient guidelines for nearly optimal scheduling of data-parallel computations within a draconian mode of cycle-stealing in networks of workstations (nows). In this computing regimen, workstation A takes control of workstation B 's processor whenever it is idle, with the

The network of workstations (NOW) we consider for scheduling is heterogeneous and nondedicated, where computing power varies among the workstations and local and parallel jobs may interact with each other in execution. An effective NOW scheduling scheme needs sufficient information about system hete

Networks of workstations (NOWs) can be used for parallel processing by using public domain software like PVM. However, NOW-based parallel processing suffers from node heterogeneity, background load variations, and high-latency, low-bandwidth communication network. Previous studies on load sharing in

## Abstract A manager–worker‐based parallelization algorithm for Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC‐MW) is presented and compared with the pure iterative parallelization algorithm, which is in common use. The new manager–worker algorithm performs automatic load balancing, allowing it to perform near the theo
