Metascheduling and Efficient Application Execution

The following actions are being developed within the ongoing research activity about metascheduling and efficient application execution:

• Efficient execution of workflows.

• Efficent execution of divisible workloads.

• Advance meta-reservation functionality. GridWay will provide metascheduling of reservations in the Grid by “managing the reservation managers”. For more information please check out the documents available in the "Support Advance Meta-reservation" GridWay roadmap.

• State-of-the-art scheduling policies. GridWay scheduler policy comprises job prioritization policies (fixed priority, share, deadline and waiting-time) and resource prioritization policies(fixed priority, usage, failure and rank). This new functionality means the incorporation of state-of-the-art scheduling policies in the GridWay system. GridWay is the first metascheduler offering these policies. Current working Grid schedulers are only based on match-making, For more information please check out the documents available in the "Develop new schedulers" GridWay roadmap.
