AnthillSched: A Scheduling Strategy for Irregular and Iterative I/O-Intensive Parallel Jobs
Irregular and iterative I/O-intensive jobs need a different approach from parallel job schedulers. The focus in this case is not only the processing requirements anymore: memory, ...

Pitfalls in Parallel Job Scheduling Evaluation
There are many choices to make when evaluating the performance of a complex system. In the context of parallel job scheduling, one must decide what workload to use and what measur...

Predicting bounds on queuing delay for batch-scheduled parallel machines
Most space-sharing parallel computers presently operated by high-performance computing centers use batch-queuing systems to manage processor allocation. In many cases, users wishi...

Parallel Job Scheduling with Overhead: A Benchmark Study
We study parallel job scheduling, where each job may be scheduled on any number of available processors in a given parallel system. We propose a mathematical model to estimate a j...
