This book presents a groundbreaking method for distributing tasks among processors in decentralized computing networks, such as networks of personal computers or large-scale cloud-based services. The method, called the Distributed Scheduling Protocol, leverages a simple bidding mechanism to effectively assign tasks to the most suitable processors, taking into account factors like speed and data availability. The author explores the protocol's performance in various scenarios, demonstrating its ability to significantly reduce mean flow time and improve overall system efficiency even with substantial message delays and imperfect processing time estimates. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the protocol and its alternatives, this book offers valuable insights into the design and implementation of decentralized scheduling systems, making it an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of distributed computing.
