Abstract:

In this work we present an implementation of Hierarchic Genetic Strategy (HGS) for Independent Job Schedul- ing on Computational Grids. In our formulation of the scheduling problem, makespan and flowtime parameters are simultaneously optimized. The efficient assignment of jobs to machines that optimizes both objectives is cru- cial for many Grid systems. The objective of this work is to examine several variations of HGS operators in order to identify a configuration of operators and parameters that works best for the problem. Differently from classi- cal GA algorithms, which maintain only an unstructured population of individuals, HGS performs by many small populations enabling a concurrent search in the optimiza- tion domain. From the experimental study we observed that HGS implementation outperforms existing classi- cal GA schedulers for most of considered instances of a static benchmark for the problem.
