http://info.mcs.anl.gov/Projects/sp/scheduler/scheduler.html Extensible Argonne Scheduler System (EASY) <title_line>allows users to queue both batch and interactive jobs <abstract> The goals of EASY, Argonne National Laboratory's job scheduler for the IBM SP, are fairness, simplicity, and efficient use of the available resources. These goals are in conflict, but the scheduler is designed to be a compromise. Users are able to request a set of nodes for any type of use. In order to maintain the quality of machine access, the scheduler provides a single point of access, submit. This program allows users to queue both interactive and batch access jobs. When resources are available, the user is notified by the scheduler and at that time has exclusive access to the number of nodes requested. </abstract> <category>ppt-misc <keywords>distributed memory multiprocessor; resource allocation; job scheduling </urc>
