Description
This effort revisits the issue of scheduling multicore workloads on shared multipurpose, multi-user clusters. This issue was extensively studied and reported on for CHEP 2015. Since then, both the cluster-management technology and the typical grid-cluster workloads have evolved, with consequences for scheduling approaches.
The relevant developments will be discussed, and arguments made that the problem as originally described is currently less challenging, within some operational limits that will also be described (for example, whole-node scheduling).
