Abstract:

Due to the increasing demand for high performance computing in scientific research and commercial applications, the performance and system scale of high performance computing are developing rapidly. However, the rapid increase in power consumption severely limits the design and use of high-performance computing (HPC) systems, which makes low-power technologies become the key technology in the HPC field. As the core component of the whole system and based on limited system resources, the job scheduling system distributes job resources to the applications submitted by the users. Its energy efficiency plays an important role in the control and regulation of the energy consumption of the whole HPC system. We first introduce the main energy efficiency techniques and common job scheduling strategies, then analyze the energy efficiency of current HPC job scheduling, and discuss the challenges it faces and future development directions.
 

Key words: high performance computing (HPC), job scheduling, energy efficiency
