Selection of the most suitable nodes on a network to execute
a parallel application requires matching the network status
to the application requirements. We propose and validate a
novel two step approach that exploits the knowledge of the
communication structure of the application to address this
problem. In the first step, a small set of candidate node groups
are selected potential sites applications execution, by analyzing
the network status information and the communication patterns
used by the application. The second step is based on the concept
of a communication skeleton, which is short running program that
generates the dominant communication operations of the application
it represents. The communication skeleton is executed on all
candidate groups of nodes. The node group selected for application
execution is the one that achieves the best performance on the
communication skeleton. This approach leads to customized node
selection and is particularly well suited to situations where available
network information is of poor quality or expected communication
performance cannot be modeled accurately. We motivate this
approach, describe a prototype implementation, and present
performance results for NAS Parallel Benchmarks executing on a
shared network testbed.
