In this paper we have characterized the inter-arrival time and service time distributions for jobs at a large MPP supercomputing center. Our findings show that the distributions ...
Large parallel processing environments present serious administrative challenges if high utilization of the available resources is a goal. In many cases there is also the need to ...
It is generally agreed that memory requirements should be taken into account in the scheduling of parallel jobs. However, so far the work on combined processor and memory schedulin...
In this paper we describe the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a technique for operating system schedulers called processor pool-based scheduling [51]. Our tec...
