Platform Session Scheduler

High Throughput Computing

Platform Product Title

A high-throughput, low-latency scheduling solution for Platform LSF environments

  • Improve user productivity
  • Reduce wait times
  • Improve resource utilization
  • Run more complex simulations in less time

 

Inefficiencies resulting from short duration jobs in traditional batch environments Platform Session Scheduler maximizes resource use and compresses run time

 

Platform Session Scheduler is designed to work with Platform LSF to provide high throughput, low-latency scheduling for a wide-range of workloads. Platform Session Scheduler is particularly well suited to environments that run high-volumes of short duration jobs, and where users require faster and more predictable job turnaround times.

Unlike traditional batch schedulers that make resource allocation decisions for every job submission, Platform Session Scheduler enables users to specify resource allocation decisions only once for multiple jobs in a user session, providing users with their own virtual private cluster. With this more efficient scheduling model, users benefit from higher job throughput and faster response times while cluster administrators realize an overall improvement in cluster utilization.
