| Abstract | The Resource and Job Management System (RJMS) is a crucial system software part of the HPC stack. It is responsible for efficiently delivering computing power to applications in supercomputing environments. Its main intelligence relies on resource selection techniques to find the most adapted resources to schedule the users' jobs. Improper resource selection operations may lead to poor performance executions and global system utilization along with an increase of the system fragmentation and jobs starvation. These phenomena play a role in the increase of the platforms' total cost of ownership and should be minimized. This paper introduces a new method that takes into account the topology of the machine and the application characteristics to determine the best choice among the available nodes of the platform based upon their position within the network and taking into account the applications communication pattern. To validate our approach, we integrate this algorithm as a plugin for Slurm, a popular and widespread HPC resource and job management system (RJMS). We assess our plugin with different optimization schemes by comparing with the default topology-aware Slurm algorithm using both emulation and simulation of a large-scale platform, and by carrying out experiments in a real cluster. We show that transparently taking into account the job communication pattern and the topology allows for relevant performance gains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
