In a shared cluster facility scheduling of parallel jobs is an important factor that can affect the performance and turnaround time of the submitted jobs. To solve hard tree search problems, we have designed the Dynamic Moldable Tree Search (DMTS) framework. The DMTS framework allows existing serial tree search applications to run in parallel with very little development effort. The DMTS framework is designed to run on parallel computing infrastructures, including clusters, computational grids…

Using Moldability to Improve the Performance of Supercomputer Jobs
TLDR
This dissertation shows that the request that submits a moldable job can be automatically selected in a way that often reduces the job's turn-around time, and introduces and evaluates SA, an application scheduler that chooses which request to use to submit a Moldable job on behalf of the user.
