Abstract

In this work, we introduce and study a set of tree-based algorithms for resources allocation considering group dependencies between their parameters. Real world distributed and high-performance computing systems often operate under conditions of the resources availability uncertainty caused by uncertainties of jobs execution, inaccuracies in runtime predictions and other global and local utilization events. In this way we can observe an availability over time function for each resource and use it as a scheduling parameter. As a single parallel job usually occupies a set of resources, they shape groups with common probabilities of usage and release events. The novelty of the proposed approach is an efficient algorithm considering groupings of resources by the common availability probability for the resources’ co-allocation. The proposed algorithm combines dynamic programming and greedy methods for the probability-based multiplicative knapsack problem with a tree-based branch and bounds approach. Simulation results and analysis are provided to compare different approaches, including greedy and brute force solution.
