| Abstract | As a promising alternative to centralized scheduling, sample-based scheduling is especially suitable for high fan-out workloads that contain a large number of interactive jobs. Compared to centralized schedulers, existing sample-based schedulers do not hold a global view of the cluster's resource status. Instead, the scheduling decisions are made solely based on the status of a small set of randomly sampled workers. Although this simple approach is highly efficient in large clusters, the lack of global knowledge of the cluster can lead to sub-optimal task placement decisions and difficulties in enforcing global scheduling policies. In this paper, we address these challenges in existing sample-based scheduling approaches by allowing the scheduler to maintain an approximate version of the global resource status through caching the worker node's status extracted from reply messages. More specifically, we introduce the private-cluster-state technique (PCS) for the scheduler to obtain such global information. We show that the scheduler can make better scheduling decisions by utilizing PCS and the scheduler can become more capable in enforcing global scheduling policies. The use of PCS is of low cost since it does not initiate new communication in sample-based scheduling. Our approach is implemented in PSCSampler, a full distribute sample-based scheduler, which gains global knowledge from PCS. Experiment results from both simulation runs and Amazon cluster runs show that compared to Sparrow, PCSsampler can significantly reduce both 50th percentile and 90th percentile runtime. The firsttime success rate of PCSsampler in gang scheduling is closer to an omniscient centralized scheduler than baseline sample based 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.
