Information Processing Grid and Method for High Performance and Efficient Resource Utilization

摘要

System and method are proposed for intelligent assignment of submitted information processing jobs to computing resources in an information processing grid based upon real-time measurements of job behavior and predictive analysis of job throughput and computing resource consumption of the correspondingly generated workloads. The job throughput and computing resource utilization are measured and analyzed in multiple parametric dimensions. The analyzed workload may work with a job scheduling system to provide optimized job dispatchment to computing resources across the grid. Application of a parametric weighting system to the parametric dimensions makes the optimization system dynamic and flexible. Through adjustment of these parametric weights, the focus of the optimization can be adjusted dynamically to support the immediate operational goals of the system as a whole.
