A Smallest-Need-First Job Scheduling Framework with Adaptive Optimization of Idle Node Counts for Energy-Efficient HPC Systems
Power-state management in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters must reduce idle energy without excessive wake-up delays for rigid parallel jobs. This paper presents SNF-ICON, an event-driven controller combining smallest-need-first (SNF) gang scheduling, predictive wake timing, and adaptive warm-spare control. At...
