Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Minimizing spin-waiting is achieved by coscheduling processes within a job, or by using a thread management package that avoids preemption of processes that hold spinlocks.) We also find that allocation of processing power among competing jobs is a more important characteristic of a scheduling policy than preemption frequency for a wide range of preemption overhead values. Our studies are done by simulating abstract models of the system and the workloads."
Download or read book Task Scheduling for Multi core and Parallel Architectures written by Quan Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents task-scheduling techniques for emerging complex parallel architectures including heterogeneous multi-core architectures, warehouse-scale datacenters, and distributed big data processing systems. The demand for high computational capacity has led to the growing popularity of multicore processors, which have become the mainstream in both the research and real-world settings. Yet to date, there is no book exploring the current task-scheduling techniques for the emerging complex parallel architectures. Addressing this gap, the book discusses state-of-the-art task-scheduling techniques that are optimized for different architectures, and which can be directly applied in real parallel systems. Further, the book provides an overview of the latest advances in task-scheduling policies in parallel architectures, and will help readers understand and overcome current and emerging issues in this field.

Book excerpt: As the computer industry moves into the 21st century, the long-running Advances in Computers is ready to tackle the challenges of the new century with insightful articles on new technology, just as it has since 1960 in chronicling the advances in computer technology from the last century. As the longest-running continuing series on computers, Advances in Computers presents those technologies that will affect the industry in the years to come. In this volume, the 53rd in the series, we present 8 relevant topics. The first three represent a common theme on distributed computing systems -using more than one processor to allow for parallel execution, and hence completion of a complex computing task in a minimal amount of time. The other 5 chapters describe other relevant advances from the late 1990s with an emphasis on software development, topics of vital importance to developers today- process improvement, measurement and legal liabilities. - Longest running series on computers - Contains eight insightful chapters on new technology - Gives comprehensive treatment of distributed systems - Shows how to evaluate measurements - Details how to evaluate software process improvement models - Examines how to expand e-commerce on the Web - Discusses legal liabilities in developing software—a must-read for developers

Download or read book Using Knowledge of Job Characteristics in Multiprogrammed Multiprocessor Scheduling written by Eric W. Parsons and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiprocessors are being used increasingly to support workloads in which some or all of the jobs are parallel. For these systems, new scheduling algorithms are required to allocate resources in such a way as to offer good response times while being capable of sustaining high system loads. Until recently, research in this area has focussed on processors as the critical resource, but for many parallel workloads, memory will likely also become a concern. In this thesis, we investigate the design of parallel-job scheduling disciplines, considering simultaneously processors and memory as critical resources. First, we demonstrate that preemption is a necessary feature of parallel-job schedulers in order to obtain good response times given the types of workloads found in practice. Next, we develop analytic bounds on the achievable system throughput with respect to both processing and memory for the case where no knowledge exists about the speedup characteristics of individual jobs. Through the derivation of these bounds, we show that an equi-allocation scheduling discipline, one which allocates processors evenly among jobs selected to run, is the best approach. The key factor to obtaining good performance for such disciplines is to make effective use of memory. If the scheduler possesses speedup knowledge of jobs, however, then the equi-allocation strategy is no longer recommended for workloads in which there exists a correlation between the memory requirements of jobs and their speedup characteristics. In this case, it is theoretically possible to achieve an arbitrary increase in the sustainable throughput over equi-allocation by using this speedup information in allocating processors. Finally, we present the implementation of a family of scheduling disciplines, based on Platform Computing's Load Sharing Facility. Each of these disciplines makes different assumptions about the characteristics of the system, such as the type of preemption that is available or the flexibility that the system possesses in allocating processors. Through this work, we demonstrate, in a practical setting, that sophisticated parallel-jobs scheduling disciplines can be successfully implemented and can deliver improved performance relative to disciplines typically being used today.

This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple processor systems are an important class of parallel systems. Over the years, several architectures have been proposed to build such systems to satisfy the requirements of high performance computing. These architectures span a wide variety of system types. At the low end of the spectrum, we can build a small, shared-memory parallel system with tens of processors. These systems typically use a bus to interconnect the processors and memory. Such systems, for example, are becoming commonplace in high-performance graph ics workstations. These systems are called uniform memory access (UMA) multiprocessors because they provide uniform access of memory to all pro cessors. These systems provide a single address space, which is preferred by programmers. This architecture, however, cannot be extended even to medium systems with hundreds of processors due to bus bandwidth limitations. To scale systems to medium range i. e. , to hundreds of processors, non-bus interconnection networks have been proposed. These systems, for example, use a multistage dynamic interconnection network. Such systems also provide global, shared memory like the UMA systems. However, they introduce local and remote memories, which lead to non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architecture. Distributed-memory architecture is used for systems with thousands of pro cessors. These systems differ from the shared-memory architectures in that there is no globally accessible shared memory. Instead, they use message pass ing to facilitate communication among the processors. As a result, they do not provide single address space.
