Notes:
Using the Enhanced PVM Strategy
Actually using the Enhanced PVM Strategy is very easy. When we increase a resource’s usage, we increase its cost. This increase is the “marginal cost” of using that resource. The marginal cost of placing a job on a machine is the sum of all the increases in resource costs. We assign incoming jobs online to the machine where their marginal cost is smallest. This greedily minimizes the total cost of the system.
