For an initial study in divisible load scheduling, an optimal computing power allocation problem in a distributed parallel computing grid involving two sources and a sink is considered. The objective is to optimally allocate the computing power of the sink in the grid in a such way that the total parallel computing finish time of the entire load is equalized to the sequential computing finish time while utilizing the full computing power. A numerical method to calculate the optimal adaptive computing power via a deterministic analysis is presented under several computing constraints. Performance of the computing power adaptation is modeled and evaluated. For performance evaluation, we define average computing finish time.
