In addition, no existing scheduler provides useful coscheduling of parallel jobs on clusters. We have developed a flexible object-oriented framework for specifying resource management policies in concurrent systems. We have also devised novel proportional-share scheduling algorithms for managing several diverse resources, including processor time, memory, access to locks, and disk bandwidth. More information is available in several online publications . In collaboration with the Concurrent Systems Architecture Group at UIUC, we implemented a prototype of dynamic coscheduling on a workstation cluster.
