Impact of a dynamic Allocation Policy for Resource and Job Management Systems in deadline-oriented Scenarios

As High Performance Computing (HPC) becomes a tool used in many different workflows, Quality of Service (QoS) becomes increasingly important. In many cases, this includes the reliable execution of an HPC job and the generation of the results by a certain deadline. The Resource and Job Management System (RJMS or simply RMS) is responsible for receiving the job requests and executing the jobs with a deadline-oriented policy to support the workflows. In this paper, we evaluate how well static resource management policies cope with deadline constrained HPC jobs, and explore two variations of a dynamic policy in this context. Our preliminary results clearly show that a dynamic policy is needed to meet the requirements of a modern deadline-oriented RMS scenario.
