Standard job schedulers rely on either the user\u27s estimation, or a few approaches that use performance databases to keep information about job runtimes to predict future runs. Co-scheduling for improved resource utilization, however, requires more detailed information as regards behavior on multiple resources to make predictions about slowdowns. Thus, information about communication, I/O, and computation at application level is needed but hard to estimate by the user. Furthermore, dynamic adaptive resource allocation requires information about the different processes on different machine nodes. We present an intelligent monitoring tool, ScoPro, which provides such information. To make monitoring more feasible, ScoPro harnesses the dynamic instrument techniques, which postpone insertion of instrumentation code until the application is executing. To keep intrusion low, we limit monitoring to short test phases. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)Dept. of Computer Science.
