HAGEES: A High Availability Guaranteed Energy Efficient Scheduling Algorithm for Homogeneous Clusters

High performance clusters play a vital role nowadays both in the industry and research area. In the past decade, some scheduling schemes have been investigated to achieve high availability or energy efficiency in large-scale clusters. However, leveraging scheduling algorithms to ensure high availability and performance while conserving energy remains an open problem. To bridge this technology gap, in this paper, we propose a high availability guaranteed energy efficient scheduling strategy (HAGEES for short) that aims at comprehensively consider the most important three factors, namely, availability, energy conservation, and high performance.
