Abstract

The workload model of a high-performance cluster is considered in the context of an upgrade (increase the computational power) or downgrade (save energy) problems. Analytical solutions are found that provide stochastic stability of the workload. The results of numerical experiments with log-files of a real workload are presented.

The research is partially supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research, projects No. 13-07-00008, 14-07-31007, 15-07-02341, 15-07-02354 and the Program of Strategic Development of the Petrozavodsk State University.
