20th Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing (JSSPP 2016)
May 27, 2016
USA
Call For Papers
Large parallel systems have been in production for more than 20 years, creating the need of scheduling for such systems. This workshop was created in 1995 to provide a forum for the research and engineering community working in the area. Initially, parallel systems were very static. Machines were built in fixed configurations, which would be wholesale replaced every few years. Much of the workload consisted of parallel scientific jobs. These jobs were static, running on a fixed number of nodes. Systems were primarily managed via batch queues. The user experience was far from interactive; jobs could wait in queues for days or even weeks.
Topics
-
Design and evaluation of new scheduling approaches.
Performance evaluation of scheduling approaches, including methodology, benchmarks, and metrics.
Workloads, including characterization, classification, and modeling.
Consideration of additional constraints in scheduling systems, like job priorities, price, accounting, load estimation, and quality of service guarantees.
Impact of scheduling strategies on application performance, user friendliness, cost efficiency, and energy efficiency.
Scaling and composition of very large scheduling systems.
Cloud provider issues: capacity planning, service level assurance, reliability.
Interaction between schedulers on different levels, like processor level as well as whole single- or even multi-owner systems.
Experience reports from production systems.
Experience reports from large scale compute campaigns.
From its very beginning, JSSPP has strived to balance practice and theory in its program. This combination provides a rich environment for technical debate about scheduling approaches including both academic researchers as well as participants from industry. JSSPP is a high-visibility workshop, which has been ranking repeatedly in the top 10% of Citeseer's venue impact list.
