| Abstract | Optical Circuit Switches (OCS) are increasingly used in cluster networks due to their data rate, energy and longevity advantages over electrical packet switches. Concurrently, an emerging crucial requirement for modern data-parallel clusters is to achieve high application-level communication efficiency when servicing structured traffic flows (a.k.a. Coflows) from distributed data processing applications. This paper presents the first OCS scheduling algorithm called Sunflow that addresses this requirement. Preemption decisions are the key to any OCS scheduling algorithm. Sunflow makes preemption decisions at two levels. First, at the intra-Coflow level, Sunflow does not allow subflows within a Coflow to preempt each other. We prove that the performance of this strategy is within a factor-of-two to the optimal. We further demonstrate that under realistic traffic, performance of Sunflow is on average within 1.03× to optimal. Second, at the inter-Coflow level, Sunflow provides a framework for flexible preemption policies to support diverse usage scenarios. In the specific case of the shortest-Coflow-first policy, we find that Coflows on average finish just as fast in a Sunflow-scheduled optical circuit switched network as in a comparable packet switched network employing the state-of-the-art Coflow scheduler. |

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.
