Understanding User Behavior: From HPC to HTC
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the differences and similarities in user job submission behavior in High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Throughput Computing (HTC). We consider job submission behavior in terms of parallel batch-wise submissions, as well as delays and pauses in job submission. Our findings show that modeling user-based HTC job submission behavior requires knowledge of the underlying bags of tasks, which is often unavailable. Furthermore, we find evidence that subsequent job submission behavior is not influenced by the different complexities and requirements of HPC and HTC jobs.

Many-Task Computing and Blue Waters
This report discusses many-task computing (MTC), both generically and in the context of the proposed Blue Waters systems. Blue Waters is planned to be the largest supercomputer funded by NSF when it begins production use in 2011–2012 at NCSA. The aim of this report is to inform the Blue Waters project about MTC, including understanding aspects of MTC applications that can be used to characteriz...
متن کاملScientific workflow orchestration interoperating HTC and HPC resources
In this work we describe our developments towards the provision of a unified access method to different types of computing infrastructures at the interoperation level. For that, we have developed a middleware suite which bridges not interoperable middleware stacks used for building distributed computing infrastructues, UNICORE and gLite. Our solution allows to transparently access and operate o...
متن کاملDeveloping a Home Telecare Service for Elderly Patients with COPD: Steps and Challenges
Home telecare (HTC), including remote monitoring and interactive video, is increasingly seen as a promising avenue for the timely provision of nursing interventions from a distance to patients at home. While empirical evidence are published regarding satisfaction, costs, suitable patient-populations and clinical outcomes, only three articles outlined the challenges that must be anticipated and ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Causes of Performance Variability in HPC Applications
While most workload characterization focuses on application and architecture performance, the variability in performance also has wide ranging impacts on the users and managers of large scale computing resources. Performance variability, while secondary to absolute or optimal performance itself, can significantly detract from both the overall performance realized by parallel workloads and the s...
