Abstract

The allocation system comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to deactivate idle cluster machines of a set of cluster machines. The processor is configured to determine a set of tasks executing or pending on the set of cluster machines; determine a set of idle cluster machines of the set of cluster machines that are neither running one or more tasks of the set of tasks nor storing one or more intermediate data files of a set of intermediate data files, where the set of intermediate data files is associated with a set of tasks executing or pending on the cluster machines; and deactivate each cluster machine of the set of idle cluster machines.
