Notes:
Strategies for Resource Allocation with Reduced Information
This section discusses strategies for resource allocation when a job’s resource requirements are not known. In this context, we cannot compute opportunity costs before placing a job.
The Differential PVM Strategy, developed in this work, performs job assignment on static systems where the scheduler does not know an incoming job’s resource requirements. We assume that those resource requirements become known after placing a job. For this reason, we do not consider a dynamic version of this strategy worthwhile. (It could place the job using any strategy and then reassign it when its resource requirements are known.)
