The work_req element of a scheduler RPC request
|
|
is in units of 'normalized CPU seconds'.
|
|
|
|
A request of X normalized CPU seconds
|
|
is asking for enough work to keep one CPU
|
|
busy for X seconds of wall-clock time.
|
|
|
|
In deciding how much work this is,
|
|
the scheduler must take into account:
|
|
|
|
1) the project's resource share fraction;
|
|
2) the host's on-fraction
|
|
3) the host's active-fraction.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose a host has a 1 GFLOP/sec CPU,
|
|
the project's resource share fraction is 0.5,
|
|
the host's on-fraction is 0.8
|
|
and the host's active-fraction is 0.9.
|
|
|
|
Then the expected processing rate per CPU is
|
|
|
|
1*0.5*0.8*0.9 GFLOP/sec = 0.36 GFLOP/sec
|
|
|
|
Suppose the host requests 1000 seconds of work.
|
|
Then the scheduler should send it at least 360 GFLOPs of work.
