9783540786986 3540786988 Thanks to her brother Jacob, Eliza Christianson's young life has been anything but dull. At seventeen she helped him solve a brutal murder within their conservative polygamous community, and later she supported him when he was recruited by the FBI to infiltrate a dangerous cult. Now it's Eliza's turn to make her mark--a woman comes to Eliza after her daughter is recruited by a doomsday cult led by a man called "The Disciple." In a strange twist of fate, one of the only leads is David, Jacob and Eliza's brother, who was shunned by their church.Eliza sets out to convince David to help her navigate the cult and stage a rescue. Her daring plan takes her to the Las Vegas desert where The Disciple is waiting...Provocative and engrossing, The Wicked is a view behind the veil of religious fanaticism as seen through the eyes of an extraordinary heroine., This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2007, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2007, in conjunction with the 21st ACM International Conference on Supercomputing, ICS 2007.The 10 revised full research papers presented went through the process of strict reviewing and subsequent improvement. The papers cover all current issues of job scheduling strategies for parallel processing from the supercomputer-centric viewpoint but also address many nontraditional high-performance computing and parallel environments that cannot or need not access a traditional supercomputer, such as grids, Web services, and commodity parallel computers. The papers are organized in topical sections on performance and tools, queueing systems, as well as grid and heterogeneous architectures., th Thisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatthe13 workshoponJobSched- ing Strategies for Parallel Processing.

The accepted workshop papers in recent years show a departure from the supercomputer-centric viewpoint of parallel job scheduling. On the one hand, the ?eld of supercomputer scheduling is showing some signs of maturity, exh- ited in many widely accepted practices for job scheduling. On the other hand, many nontraditionalhigh-performancecomputing andparallelenvironments are emerging as viable solutions to many users and uses that cannot or need not - cess a traditional supercomputer, such as Grids, Web services, and commodity parallelcomputers.With the growingubiquity ofthese technologies, the requi- ment to schedule parallel jobs well on these various architectures also grows.
