An Adaptive Space-Sharing Policy for Heterogeneous Parallel Systems

چکیده
As the distributed-memory parallel systems become heterogeneous in nature, it is important to devise scheduling policies that take node heterogeneity into account. Previous studies on this topic have focused on homogeneous systems. In this paper, we propose a new two-level space-sharing policy for heterogeneous systems. The proposed policy is an adaptive space-sharing policy that takes system load and user requirements into account. We compare the performance of the new policy with a previous policy. The results presented here show that the proposed policy provides substantial performance improvements.

A Modified Adaptive Space-Sharing Policy for Non-dedicated Heterogeneous Cluster Systems
Adaptive space-sharing algorithms are commonly used to realize the fullest strengths of dedicated homogeneous cluster computing systems since they produce better performance than fixed and variable-space sharing policies. However cluster of computers tend to be heterogeneous over the time because of both nature of incremental growth and diversity of technological change. Community-owned cluster...

Cluster computing systems have recently generated enormous interest for providing easily scalable and cost-effective parallel computing solution for processing large-scale applications. Various adaptive space-sharing scheduling algorithms have been proposed to improve the performance of dedicated and homogeneous clusters. But commodity clusters are naturally nondedicated and tend to be heteroge...
متن کاملAn Improved Adaptive Space-Sharing Scheduling Policy for Non-dedicated Heterogeneous Cluster Systems
Adaptive space-sharing scheduling algorithms tend to improve the performance of clusters by allocating processors to jobs based on the current system load. The focus of existing adaptive algorithms is on dedicated homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters. However commodity clusters are naturally non-dedicated and tend to be heterogeneous over the time as cluster hardware is usually upgraded and n...
متن کاملParallel Job Scheduling Policy for Workstation Cluster Environments
As workstation clusters (WC) become more commonly used for parallel jobs, there is a growing awareness for the need of job scheduling policies. There have been a fair number of studies on how to schedule parallel applications on parallel systems and a good survey in the area can be found in [5]. It has been shown that the best solution to the processor allocation problem in a distributed multip...

Increases in incidents involving so-called confused persons have brought attention to the potential costs of recent changes to public mental health (PMH) services in the Netherlands. Decentralized under the (Community) Participation Act (2014), local governments must find resources to compensate for reduced central funding to such services or “innovate.” But innovation, even when pressure for c...
