Abstract
The current research paradigm is one of data-driven research. Researchers are beginning to deploy computer facilities to produce and analyze large amounts of data. As requirements for computing power grow, data processing in traditional workstations is always under pressure for efficient resource management. In such an environment, a tremendous amount of data is being processed using parallel computing for efficient and effective research results. HTCondor, as an example, provides computing power for data analysis for researchers. Although such a system works well in a traditional computing cluster environment, we need an efficient methodology to meet the ever-increasing demands of computing using limited resources. In this paper, we propose an approach to integrating clusters that can share their computing power on the basis of a priority policy. Our approach makes it possible to share worker nodes while maintaining the resources allocated to each group. In addition, we have utilized the historical data of user usage in order to analyze problems that have occurred during job execution due to resource sharing and the actual operating results. Our findings can provide a reasonable guideline for limited computing powers shared by multiple scientific groups.
Highlights
Research methodology has changed from traditional observational methods to a data-driven research paradigm, which is called the fourth generation research paradigm [1]
According to the paradigm of existing scientific research, there has been a change from the first generation paradigm that describes natural phenomena through observation, the second generation through modeling and generalization, and the third generation research paradigm using computer simulation technology [2]
A job management program is required for batching jobs and managing queues to use the high throughput computing (HTC) system more efficiently, such as HTCondor [8,9,10], PBSPro [11,12], Slurm [13,14], and Torque [15,16]
Summary
Research methodology has changed from traditional observational methods to a data-driven research paradigm, which is called the fourth generation research paradigm [1]. A data-driven research paradigm that analyzes and makes discoveries using vast amounts of data from large research equipment has emerged [3,4]. Analyzing this vast amount of data requires massive amounts of computing power [5,6]. Computer clustering technologies are utilized in computing resources of groups of various sizes, from small lab units to data centers. This is called high throughput computing (HTC) [7]. HTCondor is an open source program that was released in 1988
