A Tabu search algorithm for scheduling independent jobs in computational grids

The efficient allocation of jobs to grid resources is indispensable for high performance grid-based applications, and it is a computationally hard problem even when there are no dependencies among jobs. We present in this paper a new tabu search (TS) algorithm for the problem of batch job scheduling...
