| Abstract | This work is focused on processor allocation in shared-memory multiprocessor systems, where no knowledge of the application is available when applications are submitted. We perform the processor allocation taking into account the characteristics of the application measured at run-time. We want to demonstrate the importance of an accurate performance analysis and the criteria used to distribute the processors. With this aim, we present the SelfAnalyzer, an approach to dynamically analyzing the performance of applications (speedup, efficiency and execution time), and the Performance-Driven Processor Allocation (PDPA), a new scheduling policy that distributes processors considering both the global conditions of the system and the particular characteristics of running applications. This work also defends the importance of the interaction between the medium-term and the long-term scheduler to control the multiprogramming level in the case of the clairvoyant scheduling pol-icies1. We have implemented our proposal in an SGI Origin2000 with 64 processors and we have compared its performance with that of some scheduling policies proposed so far and with the native IRIX scheduling policy. Results show that the combination of the SelfAnalyzer+PDPA with the medium/long-term scheduling interaction outperforms the rest of the scheduling policies evaluated. The evaluation shows that in workloads where a simple equipartition performs well, the PDPA also performs well, and in extreme workloads where all the applications have a bad performance, our proposal can achieve a speedup of 3.9 with respect to an equipartition and 11.8 with respect to the native IRIX scheduling policy. |

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.
