Task scheduling based on dependencies and resources
TLDR
In this paper, an example system identifies a set of tasks as being designated for execution and schedules an execution of the first task, which is scheduled to use a particular data processing resource.Abstract:
An example system identifies a set of tasks as being designated for execution, and the set of tasks includes a first task and a second task. The example system accesses task dependency data that corresponds to the second task and indicates that the first task is to be executed prior to the second task. The example system, based on the task dependency data, generates a task dependency model of the set of tasks. The dependency model indicates that the first task is to be executed prior to the second task. The example system schedules an execution of the first task, which is scheduled to use a particular data processing resource. The scheduling is based on the dependency model.read more

Bradley Gene Calder,Ju Wang,Vaman Bedekar,Sriram Sankaran,Ii Marvin Mcnett,Pradeep Kumar Gunda,Yang Zhang,Shyam Antony,Kavitha Manivannan,Arild E. Skjolsvold,Hemal Khatri +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for providing resources by way of a platform as a service (PaaS) in a distributed computing environment to perform a job, where a user may submit a work item to the system that results in a job being processed on a pool of virtual machines.
Patent
Threading as a service
TL;DR: In this article, a service manages a plurality of virtual machine instances for low latency execution of user codes based on a predetermined set of configurations, such that the time from receiving the request to beginning code execution is less than a predetermined duration.
Patent
Code execution request routing
TL;DR: In this article, a system for low-latency compute capacity is provided. The system may be configured to route incoming code execution requests based on user indications to use specific containers running on a plurality of virtual machine instances.

Resource allocation methods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method to optimize project scheduling by assigning resources having the proper capabilities to tasks according to a predetermined order of tasks and testing whether the assigned resource can permit shortening of the task duration.

Scalable multi-thread video decoding
Weidong Zhao,Yaming He +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the decoding tasks are prioritized based at least in part on task dependencies and a higher priority may be assigned to tasks that must be completed before other tasks that depend on them can begin.
