title = "Feedback-control based real-time divisible load scheduling",
abstract = "Providing QoS and performance guarantees to arbitrarily divisible loads has become a significant problem for many cluster-based research computing facilities. While progress is being made in scheduling arbitrarily divisible loads, current approaches are based on {"}open-loop{"} scheduling. They perform well in predictable environments, but their performance in open and dynamic environments could be unacceptably poor. In this paper, we propose a feedbackcontrol based real-time scheduling algorithm for arbitrarily divisible applications. By dynamically handling workload and system variations, the proposed algorithm provides predictable QoS guarantees to soft real-time divisible loads.",
