Abstract

To process the data available in Bioinformatics, High Performance Computing is required. To efficiently calculate the necessary data, the computational tasks need to be scheduled and maintained. We propose a method of predicting runtimes in a heterogeneous high performance computing environment as well as scheduling methods for the execution of hgih performance tasks. The heuristic method used is the feedforward artificial neural network, which utilizes a collected history of real life data to predict and schedule upcoming jobs.
