19th WORKSHOP ON JOB SCHEDULING STRATEGIES FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING 
(JSSPP'2015)
in conjunction with IPDPS 2015
Hyderabad, India, May 25-29, 2015
http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~feit/parsched/

The JSSPP workshop addresses all scheduling aspects of parallel 
processing.

Large parallel systems have been in production for about 20 years, creating 
the need of scheduling for such systems. This workshop was created in 1995 
to provide a forum for the research and engineering community working in the 
area. Initially, parallel systems were very static. Machines were built 
in fixed configurations, which would be wholesale replaced every few 
years. Much of the workload consisted of parallel scientific jobs. These 
jobs were static, running on a fixed number of nodes. Systems were 
primarily managed via batch queues. The user experience was far from 
interactive; jobs could wait in queues for days or even weeks.

A little over 10 years ago, the emergence of large scale, interactive, web 
applications began to drive the development of a new class of systems and 
schedulers. These systems would run “services”, which 
would essentially never terminate (unlike scientific jobs). This created 
systems and schedulers with vastly different properties. Moreover, this 
created an enormous demand for computing resources, resulting in a 
commercial market of competing providers. At the same time, the increasing 
demands for more power and interactivity have driven scientific platforms in 
a similar direction, causing the lines between these platforms to blur.

Nowadays, parallel processing is much more dynamic and connected. Many 
workloads are interactive and make use of variable resources over time. 
Complex parallel infrastructures can now be built on the fly, using 
resources from different sources, provided with different prices and quality 
of services. Capacity planning became more proactive, where resources are 
acquired continuously, with the goal of staying ahead of demand. The 
interaction model between job and resource manager is shifting to one of 
negotiation, where they agree on resources, price, and quality of service. 
These are just a few examples of the open issues facing our field.

JSSPP solicits papers that address any of the challenges in parallel 
scheduling, including:
- Design and evaluation of new scheduling approaches.
- Performance evaluation of scheduling approaches, including methodology, 
benchmarks, and metrics.
- Workloads, including characterization, classification, and modeling.
- Consideration of additional constraints in scheduling systems, like job 
priorities, price, accounting, load estimation, and quality of service 
guarantees.
- Impact of scheduling strategies on application performance, user 
friendliness, cost efficiency, and energy efficiency.
- Scaling and composition of very large scheduling systems.
- Cloud provider issues: capacity planning, service level assurance, 
reliability.
- Interaction between schedulers on different levels, like processor level 
as well as whole single- or even multi-owner systems.
- Experience reports from production systems.
- Experience reports from large scale compute campaigns.

From its very beginning, JSSPP has strived to balance practice and theory in 
its program. This combination provides a rich environment for technical 
debate about scheduling approaches including both academic researchers as 
well as participants from industry. JSSPP is a high-visibility workshop, 
which has been ranking repeatedly in the top 10% of Citeseer’s venue 
impact list.
