Resource reservation based on relaxed policy for grid workflow by Peng XIAO, Zhi-gang HU, Chao-kun YAN, Xi-long QU

“…To address the problem that applications tend to overestimate reservation duration,a novel reservation technique based on overlapping relaxing policy was proposed,so as to mitigate the negative effects of stringent reservation mechanisms on system performance.The analysis of the relaxed policy was represented theoretically and a relaxed admission algorithm was designed for large-scale grid workflows.Experimental results show that relaxed policy can significantly mitigate the negative effects of classical policies when system is in presence of heavy workload.Experimental results based on a real workflow indicate that the relaxed policy is able to decreasing the efficiency loss due to the overestimation of reservation durations.…”

« Chez nous, on ne tue pas le chien sans raison » by Christian Seignobos

“…The patterns of matrimonial alliances have widely addressed this in the past.To kill a dog with iron is a crime, to let it starve to death, a heavy infamy. Yet humans had, not long ago, to sacrifice dogs during peace oaths and, still today, to satisfy a cynophagy which relates more to therapeutic care than to diet.…”
