Abstract

In recent years, PC-based cluster has become a mainstream branch in high performance computing (HPC) systems. To improve performance of PC-based cluster, various scheduling algorithms have been proposed. However, they only focused on systems with all jobs are rigid or all jobs are moldable. This paper fills in the gap by building a scheduling algorithm for PC-based clusters running both rigid jobs and moldable jobs. As an extension of existing adaptive space-sharing solutions, the proposed scheduling algorithm helps to reduce the turnaround time. In addition, the algorithm satisfies some requirement about job-priority. Evaluation results show that even in extreme cases such as all jobs are rigid or all jobs are moldable, performance of the algorithm is competitive to the original algorithms.
