Abstract

Parallel processing systems with jobs structured as random graphs, where the nodes correspond to executable tasks and the directed edges to precedence constraints, are studied from a queueing theoretic point of view under general stationarity assumptions on the job flows. Jobs need to have their tasks processed non-preemptively by a set of uniform processors. Simple, natural greedy schemes of allocating processors to tasks are shown to asymptotically minimize the long-term average execution time per job. The stability condition for this queueing system is specified, and greedy allocation schemes are shown to stabilize the system under the maximum possible job arrival rate. Some recurrence properties of the system state are also established.
