Mean field optimal Core Allocation across Malleable jobs
Zhouzi Li, Mor Harchol-Balter, Benjamin Berg
Modern data centers and cloud computing clusters are increasingly running workloads composed of malleable jobs. A malleable job can be parallelized across any number of cores, yet…

LookAhead: The Optimal Non-decreasing Index Policy for a Time-Varying Holding Cost problem
Keerthana Gurushankar, Zhouzi Li, Mor Harchol-Balter +1
In practice, the cost of delaying a job can grow as the job waits. Such behavior is modeled by the Time-Varying Holding Cost (TVHC) problem, where each job's instantaneous holding…

Improving Upon the generalized c-mu rule: a Whittle approach
Zhouzi Li, Keerthana Gurushankar, Mor Harchol-Balter +1
Scheduling a stream of jobs whose holding cost changes over time is a classic and practical problem. Specifically, each job is associated with a holding cost (penalty), where a job…
