20120096468 | COMPUTE CLUSTER WITH BALANCED RESOURCES - A scheduler for a compute cluster that allocates computing resources to jobs to achieve a balanced distribution. The balanced distribution maximizes the number of executing jobs to provide fast response times for all jobs by, to the extent possible, assigning a designated minimum for each job. If necessary to achieve this minimum distribution, resources in excess of a minimum previously allocated to a job may be de-allocated, if those resources can be used to meet the minimum requirements of other jobs. Resources above those used to meet the minimum requirements of executing jobs are allocated based on a computed desired allocation, which may be developed based on respective job priorities.
