Description<br>
------------</b><br>
The 2024 edition of Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel
Processing (JSSPP) will be the 27th installment of this
long-running and established workshop that addresses all aspects
of resource management and scheduling in parallel computing,
including cloud, grid, HPC & HTC, as well as "mixed/hybrid"
systems. <br>
JSSPP balances practice and theory in its program and provides a
rich environment for technical debate about scheduling approaches
among academic researchers as well as participants from the
industry. <br>
<br>
JSSPP welcomes Regular Papers (RP) as well as descriptions of Open
Scheduling Problems (OSP) and Workload Traces (WT) coming from
interesting scheduling domains (see below). Our goal with the OSP
papers is to build a bridge between the production and research
worlds, enhancing mutual understanding and reproducibility to
facilitate direct collaborations and impact. Our goal with the WT
papers is to tackle the lack of real-world data that often hampers
the ability of the research community to engage with scheduling
problems in a way that has a real-world impact.<br>
<br>
<b>----------------------------<br>
Call for Regular Papers (RP)<br>
----------------------------</b><br>
JSSPP solicits regular papers that focus on challenges in parallel
scheduling, including but not limited to: <br>
- Design of new scheduling approaches. <br>
- Performance evaluation of scheduling approaches, including
methodology, benchmarks, and metrics. <br>
- Fulfilling additional constraints in scheduling systems, like
job priorities, price, energy requirements (Green Computing),
accounting, load estimation, and quality of service guarantees. <br>
- Impact of scheduling strategies on system utilization,
application performance, user-friendliness, cost efficiency, and
energy efficiency. <br>
- Scaling and architecture of very large scheduling systems. <br>
- Operational challenges: Capacity planning, service level
assurance, reliability. <br>
- Interaction between schedulers on different levels (e.g.,
processor vs cluster) and tenancy domains (single and
multi-tenant) <br>
- Interaction between applications/workloads, e.g., efficient
batch job and container/Pod/VM co-scheduling within a single
system, etc. <br>
- Experience reports from large-scale compute production systems.
<br>
- GPU/Accelerator (co)scheduling. <br>
- AI/ML-inspired scheduling approaches.<br>
<br>
<b>-----------------------------<br>
Call for Workload Traces (WT)<br>
-----------------------------</b><br>
JSSPP welcomes papers introducing workload traces from workloads
of real systems that offer challenges in the context of this
workshop. These submissions should include:<br>
- Anonymized (if needed) workload artifacts that describe a
significant share of individual units of resource scheduling
(jobs, pods, VMs, functions, etc.) during a period of life in a
parallel computing system. <br>
- A description of the parallel system running these workloads.<br>
- An analysis of the traces, modeling key workload features and
highlighting scheduling challenges in their hosting systems.<br>
We ask submitters to employ known workload description languages
(e.g., SWF) to represent their traces or to attach schemas that
allow interpreting them. The submission of artifacts that model
the workloads is also encouraged. <br>
<br>
<b>---------------------------------------<br>
Call for Open Scheduling Problems (OSP)<br>
---------------------------------------</b><br>
JSSPP welcomes papers describing open problems in large-scale
scheduling. We believe that clearly described real-world
scheduling problems will help both the industry and the scientific
communities to bridge the gap that often prevents the adoption of
newly proposed scheduling techniques in practice. <br>
Effective scheduling approaches are predicated on three things: <br>
- A concise understanding of scheduling goals, and how they relate
to one another. <br>
- Details of the workload (job arrival times, sizes, shareability,
deadlines, etc.) <br>
- Details of the system being managed (size, break/fix lifecycle,
allocation constraints) <br>
Submissions must include a concise description of the key metrics
of the system and how they are calculated, as well as anonymized
data publication of the system workload and production schedule.
Ideally, anonymized operational logs would also be published,
though we understand this might be more difficult. <br>
We envision that OSP papers will stimulate the development of new
scheduling approaches, which can be robustly compared with the
schedules used in production facilities, and other approaches to
solve the same problems. <br>
<br>
-----------------<br>
Submission Format<br>
-----------------<br>
Paper formatting requirements are the same for Regular Papers,
Workload Traces, and OSP-related submissions. Papers should be no
longer than 20 single-spaced pages, 10pt font, including figures
and references. All submissions must follow the LNCS format. See
the instructions at Springer's website: <a

<br>
All papers in scope will be reviewed by at least three members of
the program committee.<br>
