The performance of supercomputer schedulers is influenced by the workloads that serve as
their input. Realistic workloads are therefore critical to evaluate how supercomputer …

As supercomputing resources become more available, users will require resources
managed by several local schedulers. To gain access to a collection of resources, current …

While the MPP is still the most common architecture in supercomputer centers today, a
simpler and cheaper machine configuration is appearing at many supercomputing sites …

In most parallel supercomputers, submitting a job for execution involves specifying (i) how
many processors are to be allocated to the job, and (ii) for how long these processors are to …

Interference of nearby jobs has been recently identified as the dominant reason for the high
performance variability of parallel applications running on High Performance Computing …

Two basic approaches are taken when modeling workloads in simulation-based
performance evaluation of parallel job scheduling algorithms:(1) a carefully reconstructed …

A workload characteristic on a parallel computer depends on an administration policy or a
user community for the computer system. An administrator of a parallel computer system …

In order to evaluate different scheduling strategies for parallel computers, simulations are
often executed. As the scheduling quality highly depends on the workload that is served on …

This paper proposes extensions to the backfilling job-scheduling algorithm that significantly
improve its performance. We introduce variations that sort the" backfilling order" in priority …

This paper characterizes the production workload that highly utilizes the NCSA Origin 2000.
The characterization includes the distributions of job interarrival time, requested number of …
