1 Enabling Interactive Jobs in Virtualized Data Centers (Extended Abstract) John Paul Walters, Bhagyashree Bantwal, and Vipin Chaudhary Department of Computer Science and Engineering University at Buffalo, The State University of New York {waltersj, bbantwal, vipin}@buffalo.edu Abstract— Existing batch schedulers are incapable of ade- However the use of virtualization also necessitates an quately addressing the need for immediate access to resources effective provisioning system. The provisioning framework for interactive jobs. In this paper we describe our virtual should cooperate with the scheduler in order to anticipate job machine-centric scheduler, UBIS, that facilitates both high priority interactive jobs and traditional batch jobs. UBIS is requirements without dedicating unneeded resources. Many based on preemptable job scheduling which enables rapid of today’s VM provisioning systems naively swap operating resource provisioning for interactive jobs, and easy job restarts systems without considering the resource trends. This leads to for preempted jobs. Using simulation we characterize the impact wasteful VM swapping and lower cluster utilization. While of interactivity on the data center and develop a novel set of the focus of this paper is on the scheduling, we note that scheduling criteria that emphasizes near-immediate resource allocation for interactive jobs. We show that our new scheduling provisioning will prove a crucial component of
