The Maui Scheduler maximizes control of system resources by allowing nodes to be allocated to specific users, groups, or projects, and minimizes the amount of wasted computer resources by permitting anticipated downtime to be scheduled. It provides extensive diagnostic capabilities, monitors the status of nodes, and detects problems and inconsistent states. System statistics are also collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of scheduling and utilization of available resources. Another feature of the scheduler is the simulation mode which allows system administrators to test different node allocations and prioritization mechanisms or simulate new configurations or additional hardware. The Maui Scheduler is the result of two years of research and development.
Future areas being researched include the ability to schedule multiple heterogeneous platforms.
