Abstract

As a variety of science applications are integrated with large-scale HPDC (high performance distributed computing) technologies, timely resource allocation is revealed as a critical requirement to be considered. This paper introduces a new HPDC resource management paradigm named resource slot which defines a network of logical machines across time and space. A resource slot is not only a resource programming target but also a virtualized resource provisioning framework for a variety of resource management paradigms by encapsulating the resource management complexity. Especially, we present a resource provisioning technique named guided redundant submission (GRS), which probabilistically guarantees a timely resource slot allocation. Experimental results performed against 8 clusters in production show that about 5 redundant resources per slot can secure slot allocation with up to 36 logical …
