Abstract

See full text

A technique for operating a high performance computing cluster (HPC) having multiple nodes (each of which include multiple processors) includes periodically broadcasting information, related to processor utilization and network utilization at each of the multiple nodes, from each of the multiple nodes to remaining ones of the multiple nodes. Respective local job tables maintained in each of the multiple nodes are updated based on the broadcast information. One or more threads are then moved from one or more of the multiple processors to a different one of the multiple processors (based on the broadcast information in the respective local job tables).
