Variations of Conservative Backfilling to Improve Fairness

چکیده
We apply recent variations of Conservative backfilling in an effort to improve scheduler fairness. These variations modify the compression operation while preserving the key property that jobs never move later in the profile. We assess the variations using two measures of job-level fairness. Each of the variations turns out to be better than Conservative according to one of the metrics.

Variations of Conservative to improve fairness
We apply recent variations of Conservative backfilling in an effort to improve scheduler fairness. These variations modify the compression operation while preserving the key property that jobs never move later in the profile. We assess the variations using two known measures of scheduler fairness. Each of the variations turns out to be better than Conservative according to one of the metrics.
متن کاملPerformance and Fairness for Users in Parallel Job Scheduling
In this work we analyze the performance of scheduling algorithms with respect to fairness. Existing works frequently consider fairness as a job related issue. In our work we analyze fairness with respect to different users of the system as this is a very important real-life problem. First, we discuss how fair are selected popular scheduling algorithms with respect to different users of the syst...
متن کاملSelective Reservation Strategies for Backfill Job Scheduling
Although there is wide agreement that backfilling produces significant benefits in scheduling of parallel jobs, there is no clear consensus on which backfilling strategy is preferable should conservative backfilling be used or the more aggressive EASY backfilling scheme. Using tracebased simulation, we show that if performance is viewed within various job categories based on their width (proces...
متن کاملBackfilling with Guarantees Granted upon Job Submission
In this paper, we present scheduling algorithms that simultaneously support guaranteed starting times and favor jobs with systemdesired traits. To achieve the first of these goals, our algorithms keep a profile with potential starting times for every unfinished job and never move these starting times later, just as in Conservative Backfilling. To achieve the second, they exploit previously unre...
متن کاملCharacterization of Backfilling Strategies for Parallel Job Scheduling
Although there is wide agreement that backfilling produces significant benefits in scheduling of parallel jobs, there is no clear consensus on which backfilling strategy is preferable e.g. should conservative backfilling be used or the more aggressive EASY backfilling scheme; should a First-Come First-Served(FCFS) queue-priority policy be used, or some other such as Shortest job First(SF) or eX...
