| dc.description.abstract | Cloud computing setups are a huge investment of resources and personnel to maintain. As<br />the workload on a system is a major contributing factor to both the performance of the<br />system and a representation of the needs of system users, a clear understanding of the<br />workload is critical to organizations that support supercomputing systems. In this paper,<br />we analyze traces from two production level supercomputers to infer the characteristics of<br />their workloads, and make observations as to the needs of supercomputer users based on<br />them. We particularly focus on the usage of graphical processing units by domain<br />scientists. Based on this analysis, we generate a synthetic workload that can be used for<br />testing future systems, and make observations as to e"cient resource provisioning. | en |
