Abstract: A job scheduler can select a processor core operating frequency for a node in a cluster to perform a job based on energy usage and performance data. After a job request is received, an energy aware job scheduler accesses data that specifies energy usage and job performance metrics that correspond to the requested job and a plurality of processor core operating frequencies. A first of the plurality of processor core operating frequencies is selected that satisfies an energy usage criterion for performing the job based, at least in part, on the data that specifies energy usage and job performance metrics that correspond to the job. The job is assigned to be performed by a node in the cluster at the selected first of the plurality of processor core operating frequencies.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of computing systems, wherein each computing system comprises memory, a network interface and a processor. At least one computing system is configured to issue a command to run abbreviated measurements of performance for one or more computing nodes to determine whether a number of the computing nodes is adequate to perform a computing job. The at least one computing system is configured to assign the computing job to a set of the number of computing nodes if each of the set of the number of computing nodes is adequate to perform the computing job according to performance measurement results of the abbreviated measurements. For any of the one or more computing nodes that is inadequate to perform the computing job according to performance measurement results of the abbreviated measurements, the at least one computing system is configured to indicate those computing nodes as low performing.
