Scheduling In-Situ Analytics in Next-Generation Applications

Mondragon, Oscar H.; Bridges, Patrick G.; Levy, Scott; Ferreira, Kurt B.; Widener, Patrick W.

Next-generation applications increasingly rely on in situ analytics to guide computation, reduce the amount of I/O performed, and perform other important tasks. Scheduling where and when to run analytics is challenging, however. This paper quantifies the costs and benefits of different approaches to scheduling applications and analytics on nodes in large-scale applications, including space sharing, uncoordinated time sharing, and gang scheduled time sharing.
