title = {{A} highly configurable and efficient simulator for job
schedulers on supercomputers},

abstract = {The supercomputers maintained by the Jülich Supercomputing
Centre (JSC) are run in batch mode and are shared among all
active users. Jobs are submitted to the job scheduler, which
determines for each job the time of execution. It manages
running and waiting jobs, sorts them by a given priority and
executes the jobs by fitting them into the current system
state. For users it is often difficult to comprehend the job
scheduler's algorithm. Thus, a prediction of the future
system allocation of currently running and queued jobs is
valuable. It helps users to plan job submissions and
supports administrators by optimising the system load. This
talk summarises the design and implementation of a
configurable simulation for various job schedulers. The
developed simulation program called JuFo focuses on the job
schedulers Loadleveler and Moab as these are the most
important batch systems for the supercomputers provided by
the JSC. A major design goal is to keep the simulation
independent from special job schedulers, which is achieved
by the generic configuration of JuFo. Finally, a test
framework is developed, which allows for evaluating the
accuracy of the generated schedules.},
