Improving and Stabilizing Parallel Computer Performance Using Adaptive Backfilling
The scheduler is a key component in determining the overall performance of a parallel computer, and as we show here, the schedulers in wide use today exhibit large unexplained gap...

Using Run-Time Predictions to Estimate Queue Wait Times and Improve Scheduler Performance
On many computers, a request to run a job is not serviced immediately but instead is placed in a queue and serviced only when resources are released by preceding jobs. In this pape...

Multiple-queue backfilling scheduling with priorities and reservations for parallel systems
We describe a new, non-FCFS policy to schedule parallel jobs on systems that may be part of a computational grid. Our algorithm continuously monitors the system (i.e., the intensi...

A Pragmatic Analysis Of Scheduling Environments On New Computing Platforms
Today, large scale parallel systems are available at relatively low cost. Many powerful such systems have been installed all over the world and the number of users is always incre...

Using Moldability to Improve Scheduling Performance of Parallel Jobs on Computational Grid
In a computational grid environment, a common practice is try to allocate an entire parallel job onto a single participating site. Sometimes a parallel job, upon its submission, ca...
