The position is offered in the framework of the French ANR-funded ENERGUMEN project and will take place at IRIT laboratory in Toulouse, France. This project aims at proposing and evaluating new scheduling heuristics for malleable/reconfigurable HPC tasks (i.e. able to change the number of resources at runtime), taking into account computing requirements but also data movement that occurs during reconfiguration. We intend to study bi-objective problems using simulation, optimizing both consumed energy and a performance criterion, e.g. stretch-time, makespan. The candidate will propose scheduling and reconfiguration algorithms and will evaluate them.

This work can be considered as a follow-up of the research published in IGSC2020 (article).

The project is in the context of the ENERGUMEN ANR-funded project at IRIT (http://www.irit.fr) in Toulouse. For more information contact Georges Da Costa (georges.da-costa@irit.fr) and Paul Renaud-Goud (paul.renaud.goud@irit.fr) of the SEPIA team. The main research topics of the SEPIA time are optimisation of datacenter (multi-objective scheduling).
