Scheduling Scientific Applications on Heterogeneous Networks (CISE Postdoctoral Associateship)

在这个建议中，我们概述了在非专用异构计算机网络上调度大规模科学应用程序的模型和机制。为了获得有效的调度，我们的系统将考虑特定于领域和应用程序的信息以及系统范围的特性。我们寻求一种适用于各种计算环境的可扩展和可移植的调度系统。我们计划使用两个具有不同计算需求的重要科学应用程序（全球气候建模和PACVHM）来测试我们的调度器。最初的实现将使用PVM作为底层控制机制。我们的意图是，调度器将能够使用任何分布式任务控制作为它的基础。＊＊＊

9308900 Berman In this proposal, we outline a model and a mechanism for scheduling large-scale scientific applications on a non-dedicated heterogeneous network of computers. To obtain efficient schedules, our system will consider both domain-and application- specific information as well as system-wide characteristics. We seek a scalable and portable scheduling system with applicability to a wide variety of computational environments. We plan to use two important scientific applications with diverse computational requirements (global climate modeling and PACVHM) to test our scheduler. The initial implementation will use PVM as the underlying control mechanism. Our intent, is that the scheduler will be able to use any distributed task control as it foundation. ***
