The AS4DR (Adaptive Scheduling for Distributed Resources) scheduling method experimented in this paper aims at maximizing the CPU use efficiency when executing divisible load applications on heterogeneous distributed memory platforms. AS4DR adapts the scheduling to: the unawareness of the total workload, both the unspecification and the variation over time of the execution parameters (available communication speed, available computing speed, etc.). This paper presents the first experimental assessments of the adaptivity of the scheduling with this method.
