Abstract: In multi-cluster systems, parallel applications may benefit from processor co-allocation, that is, the simultaneous allocation of processors in multiple clusters. Co-allocation allows the allocation of more processors than available in a single cluster, it also increase the execution time of applications due to the relatively slow wide area communication. The aim of this paper is to discuss the benefits of co-allocation in multi-cluster systems. In addition, we compare the performance of scheduling policies that are specifically designed for co-allocation.
Keywords: multi-cluster systems, processor, co-allocation.
