This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2012, which was held in Shanghai, China, in May 2012. The 14 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: parallel batch scheduling; workload analysis and modeling; resource management system software studies; and Web scheduling.

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

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2006, held in Saint-Malo, France, in June 2006 in conjunction with the Joint International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems SIGMETRICS/Performance 2006.

The 12 revised full research papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers cover all current issues of job scheduling strategies for parallel processing such as workflow problems, scheduling performance, job migration issues, performance degradation by resource sharing, and job modeling issues in grid computing.

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.
