Scheduling Scientific Applications on Heterogeneous Networks (CISE Postdoctoral Associateship)

9308900伯曼在这个建议中，我们概述了一个模型和一个机制，调度大规模的科学应用程序的非专用异构网络的计算机。 为了获得有效的时间表，我们的系统将考虑域和应用程序的特定信息以及系统范围内的特性。 我们寻求一个可扩展的和便携式的调度系统，适用于各种各样的计算环境。 我们计划使用两个重要的科学应用程序与不同的计算要求（全球气候建模和PACVHM）来测试我们的调度程序。 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. ***
