  • Dynamic job relocation in a high performance computing system
    Patent number: 8516487
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for dynamic relocation of a job executing on multiple nodes of a high performance computing (HPC) systems. The job is dynamically relocated when the messaging network is in a quiescent state. The messaging network is quiesced by signaling the job to suspend execution at a global collective operation of the job where the messaging of the job is known to be in a quiescent state. When all the nodes have reached the global collective operation and paused, the job is relocated and execution is resumed at the new location.
