<title>Scheduling Server: Policy</title>
|
|
<h2>Scheduling Server: Policy</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The scheduling server will attempt to send enough work to excede a
|
|
hosts high water mark.
|
|
If the amount of work the scheduling server is
|
|
sending exceeds four weeks, the scheduling server will not attach more
|
|
work to a scheduler reply.
|
|
This does not prevent the scheduling server
|
|
from sending a work unit that takes more than four weeks, but merely
|
|
from attaching more work after a scheduler reply has four weeks of work.
|
|
If a work unit uses more disk resources than a host has available, the
|
|
scheduling server will not attach that work unit.
|
|
The scheduling server
|
|
estimates the amount of time a work unit will take to complete with the
|
|
formula <b>(number of fpops)/(fpops per second)+(number of iops)/(iops
|
|
per second)</b>.
|
|
The number of fpops and number of iops are provided by
|
|
the backend when creating the work unit, and the calculation speeds are
|
|
included in a scheduler request.
|
|
If no work is available, the scheduling
|
|
server sends the message <tt>no work available</tt> with priority
|
|
<tt>low</tt>, and requests that the client wait before sending another
|
|
scheduler request.
