Stochastic Control of the Scalable High Performance Distributed Computations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 7204))

Abstract

The paper presents model desribing the dynamics of the background load for the computers in the network. For that model two problems of the task allocation in the network are formulated: the problem of the stochastic control based on the background load model and the stochastic control based on the Markov Decision Process Theory. The open-loop and closed-loop control algorithms based on the stochastic forecast and Markov Decision Process Theory respectively are presented.
