A Dynamic Run-Profile Energy-Aware Approach For Scheduling Computationally Intensive Bioinformatics Applications, Sachin Pawaskar, Hesham Ali Jul 2016

A Dynamic Run-Profile Energy-Aware Approach For Scheduling Computationally Intensive Bioinformatics Applications, Sachin Pawaskar, Hesham Ali

Computer Science Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

High Performance Computing (HPC) resources are housed in large datacenters, which consume exorbitant amounts of energy and are quickly demanding attention from businesses as they result in high operating costs. On the other hand HPC environments have been very useful to researchers in many emerging areas in life sciences such as Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics. In an earlier work, we introduced a dynamic model for energy aware scheduling (EAS) in a HPC environment; the model is domain agnostic and incorporates both the deadline parameter as well as energy parameters for computationally intensive applications. Our proposed EAS model incorporates 2-phases. In …

A Dynamic Energy-Aware Model For Scheduling Computationally Intensive Bioinformatics Applications, Sachin Pawaskar, Hesham Ali

High Performance Computing (HPC) resources are housed in large datacenters, which consume huge amounts of energy and are quickly demanding attention from businesses as they result in high operating costs. On the other hand HPC environments have been very useful to researchers in many emerging areas in life sciences such as Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics. In this paper, we provide a dynamic model for energy aware scheduling (EAS) in a HPC environment; we use a widely used bioinformatics tool named BLAT (BLAST-like alignment tool) running in a HPC environment as our case study. Our proposed EAS model incorporates 2-Phases: an …


Dynamic Energy Aware Task Scheduling For Periodic Tasks Using Expected Execution Time Feedback, Sachin Pawaskar, Hesham Ali Feb 2008

Dynamic Energy Aware Task Scheduling For Periodic Tasks Using Expected Execution Time Feedback, Sachin Pawaskar, Hesham Ali

Computer Science Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Scheduling dependent tasks is one of the most challenging problems in parallel and distributed systems. It is known to be computationally intractable in its general form as well as several restricted cases. An interesting application of scheduling is in the area of energy awareness for mobile battery operated devices where minimizing the energy utilized is the most important scheduling policy consideration. A number of heuristics have been developed for this consideration. In this paper, we study the scheduling problem for a particular battery model. In the proposed work, we show how to enhance a well know approach of accounting for …
