Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, 2015 18th International Workshop, JSSPP 2014, Phoenix, AZ, USA, May 23, 2014. Revised Selected Papers Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues Series

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2014, held in Phoenix, AZ, USA, in May 2014. The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: single-core parallelism; moving to distributed-memory, larger-scale systems, scheduling fairness; and parallel job scheduling.
