Abstract

Systems and methods for allocating computing resources within a distributed computing system are disclosed. Computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, network cards, and memory are allocated to jobs submitted to the system by a scheduler. System configuration and interconnectivity information is gathered by a mapper and used to create a graph. Resource allocation is optimized based on one or more quality of service (QoS) levels determined for the job. Job performance characterization, affinity models, computer resource power consumption, and policies may also be used to optimize the allocation of computing resources.
