Workflow Scheduling on Computing Systems

This book will serve as a guide in understanding workflow scheduling techniques on computing systems such as Cluster, Supercomputers, Grid computing, Cloud computing, Edge computing, Fog computing, and the practical realization of such methods.

It offers a whole new perspective and holistic approach in understanding computing systems' workflow scheduling. Expressing and exposing approaches for various process-centric cloud-based applications give a full coverage of most systems' energy consumption, reliability, resource utilization, cost, and application stochastic computation. By combining theory with application and connecting mathematical concepts and models with their resource management targets, this book will be equally accessible to readers with both Computer Science and Engineering backgrounds.

It will be of great interest to students and professionals alike in the field of computing system design, management, and application. This book will also be beneficial to the general audience and technology enthusiasts who want to expand their knowledge on computer structure.

這本書將作為一個指南，幫助讀者了解在計算系統（如集群、超級計算機、網格計算、雲計算、邊緣計算、霧計算）上的工作流程調度技術，以及這些方法的實際應用。它提供了一個全新的視角和整體方法，幫助讀者理解計算系統的工作流程調度。書中介紹了各種以流程為中心的基於雲的應用的方法，全面涵蓋了大多數系統的能源消耗、可靠性、資源利用率、成本和應用隨機計算。通過將理論與應用相結合，並將數學概念和模型與其資源管理目標相連接，本書對於具有計算機科學和工程背景的讀者同樣易於理解。對於計算系統設計、管理和應用領域的學生和專業人士來說，這本書將非常有興趣。對於普通讀者和科技愛好者來說，這本書也將有益於擴展他們對計算機結構的知識。
