This volume contains the papers presented at the 9th workshopon Job Sched- ing Strategies for Parallel Processing, which was held in conjunction with HPDC12 and GGF8 in Seattle, Washington, on June 24, 2003. The papers went through a complete review process, with the full version being read and eva- ated by ?ve to seven members of the program committee. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the program committee, Su-Hui Chiang, Walfredo Cirne, Allen Downey, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Allan Gottlieb, Moe Jette, Richard Lagerstrom, Virginia Lo, Cathy McCann, Reagan Moore, Bill Nitzberg, Mark Squillante, and John Towns, for an excellent job. Thanks are also due to the authors for their submissions, presentations, and ?nal revisions for this volume. Finally, we would like to thank the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University for the use of their facilities in the preparation of these proceedings. This year we had papers on three main topics. The ?rst was continued work on conventional parallel systems, including infrastructure and scheduling al- rithms.Notable extensions include the considerationof I/O and QoSissues. The secondmajortheme wasscheduling inthe contextofgridcomputing, whichc- tinues to be an area of much activity and rapid progress.The third area was the methodological aspects of evaluating the performance of parallel job scheduling.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2004, held in New York, NY in June 2004. The 15 revised full research papers presented together with a report on scheduling on the Top 50 machines went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Various current issues in job scheduling and load balancing are addressed in the context of computing clusters, parallel and distributed systems, multi-processor systems, and supercomputers.

The workshop was held in Boston, MA, on June 19, 2005, in conjunction with the 19th ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS05). The papers went through a complete review process, with the full version being readand evaluatedby anaverageof ?ve reviewers.We wouldlike to thank the Program Committee members for their willingness to participate in this e?ortandtheirexcellent,detailedreviews:Su-HuiChiang,WalfredoCirne,Allen Downey, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Allan Gottlieb, Moe Jette, Richard Lagerstrom, Virginia Lo, Jose Moreira, Bill Nitzberg, and Mark Squillante. We would also like to thank Sally Lee of MIT for her assistance in the organization of the workshop and the preparation of the pre-conference proceedings. The papers in this volume cover a wide range of parallel architectures, from distributed grids, through clusters, to massively-parallel supercomputers. The diversity extends to application domains as well, from short, sequential tasks, through interdependent tasks and distributed animation rendering, to classical large-scale parallel workloads.In addition, the methods and metrics used for scheduling and evaluation include not only the usual performance and workload considerations, but also considerations such as security, fairness, and timezones. This wide range of topics attests to the continuing viability of job scheduling research. The continued interest in this area is re?ected by the longevity of this wo- shop, which has now reached its 11th consecutive year. The proceedings of p- vious workshops are available from Springer as LNCS volumes 949, 1162, 1291, 1459,1659,1911,2221,2537,2862,and3277(and since1998theyhavealsobeen available online).
