US 2020/0394045 A1 · PARALLEL PROCESSING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND JOB MANAGEMENT METHOD

Abstract

A parallel processing apparatus includes a plurality of compute nodes, and a job management device that allocates computational resources of the plurality of compute nodes to jobs, the job management device including circuitry configured to determine a resource search time range based on respective scheduled execution time periods of a plurality of jobs including a job being executed and a job waiting for execution, and search for free computational resources to be allocated to a job waiting for execution that is a processing target among the plurality of jobs, from among computational resources of the plurality of compute nodes within the resource search time range, by backfill scheduling.
