Job scheduling is one of the major challenges in Grid computing systems to efficiently exploit the capabilities of … algorithm for job scheduling using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) for efficiently allocating jobs to … resources in a Grid system so that makespan and flowtime are minimized. This proposed algorithm combines the advantages of both …
