Abstract

This paper models the task assignment based on guessing size (TAGS) job allocation algorithm using Markovian processing algebra; PEPA. It aims to analyse performance and energy consumption. The working environment is assumed to be heterogeneous, and the job size distribution is assumed to be a two phase hyper-exponential. Furthermore, the queues are bounded. A two nodes system is implemented with exponentially distributed incoming tasks. We analysed the performance metrics and energy consumption under different arrival rates. We found TAGS can perform well and improve performance, although it increases total energy consumption. Finally, we calculated the energy per job to evaluate TAGS in a heterogeneous environment, and demonstrated that TAGS reduces energy consumption per job when the system is under a heavy load.
