Abstract

The main objective of this chapter is to show the need for algorithmic and scheduling techniques. Even if resources at our disposal would become abundant and cheap, not to say unlimited and free (a perspective that is not granted), we would still need to assign the right task to the right device. We give several examples of such situations where careful resource selection and allocation are mandatory. Finally we outline some important algorithmic challenges that need be addressed in the future.
