Workload Characteristics of the DAS-2 Supercomputer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a comprehensive characterization of the DAS-21 workloads using twelve-month scientific traces. Metrics that we characterize include system utilization, job arrival rate and interarrival time, job size (degree of parallelism), job run time, memory usage, and job queue wait time. Differences with previous reported workloads are recognized and statistical distributions are fitted for generating synthetic workloads with the same characteristics. This study provides a realistic basis for experiments in resource management and evaluations of different scheduling strategies in a multi-cluster environment.

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Real Workload Tracesand Synthetic Workload
Two basic approaches are taken when modeling workloads in simulation-based performance evaluation of parallel job scheduling algorithms: (1) a carefully reconstructed trace from a real supercomputer can provide a very realistic job stream, or (2) a exible synthetic model that attempts to capture the behavior of observed workloads can be devised. Both approaches require that accurate statistical...

متن کاملTrace-Based Simulations of Processor Co-Allocation Policies in Multiclusters
In systems consisting of multiple clusters of processors which employ space sharing for scheduling jobs, such as our Distributed ASCI1 Supercomputer (DAS), coallocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of processors to single jobs in multiple clusters, may be required. In this paper we study the performance of several scheduling policies for co-allocating unordered requests in multiclusters w...
