Editing Efficient Scheduling Algorithm for Cluster Platforms

Title: Efficient Scheduling Algorithm for Cluster Platforms

Research Question: How can we develop an efficient scheduling algorithm that optimizes both makespan and weighted minimal average completion time for jobs submitted to a cluster platform?

Methodology: The researchers proposed a new scheduling algorithm called ID-IMAG, which is based on a batch policy with increasing batch sizes and smart selection of jobs in each batch. This algorithm was assessed through intensive simulation results and compared to a new lower bound obtained by relaxing an ILP.

Results: The ID-IMAG algorithm showed promising results in terms of performance and efficiency. It was able to represent both user-oriented objectives and system administrator objectives, making it a versatile choice for scheduling jobs on cluster platforms.

Implications: The ID-IMAG algorithm can be implemented in real-size cluster platforms, providing a practical solution for scheduling jobs. It offers a balance between performance and efficiency, making it an attractive option for both users and system administrators.
