Abstract: We present a major extension of the widely used TORQUE Resource Manager.
Unlike common resource managers that use queuing approach, our solution
uses planning (job schedule construction) and schedule optimization
in order to achieve better predictability, performance and fairness with
respect to common queue-based approaches.
Moreover, additional important features are supported, e.g.,
so called multi-resource fairness that is used to fairly prioritize
users subject to their (highly) heterogeneous demands concerning
various system resources. Also, new textual and graphical interfaces allow
users to better control and plan computation of their jobs.
Our solution is currently undergoing experimental deployment in the Czech
national Grid "MetaCentrum".
The poster will be presented in a standard fashion, i.e., by the first author
using a printed poster and an oral presentation.
