Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the efficient and political operation of a computer system and its efficient utilization based upon unmanned operation by automatically setting up previously determined priority corresponding to the user ID of an applied job to the job concerned and executing the job. CONSTITUTION:A priority storing file 3 stores the priority determined by a job priority determining program 1 in each user based upon the past using ratio of the computer corresponding to the user ID. A job priority setting program 2-1 extracts priority (priority previously determined by the program 1 in accordance with a user's past using ratio, priority politically determined, etc.) corresponding to the user ID of an applied job out of the file 3, sets up the extracted priority to the job to register the priority in the system and executes the jobs in the order of priority. Consequently, the efficient and political operation of the computer system and its efficient utilization based upon unmanned operation are attained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a job priority setting method that automatically sets the priority of a job, a predetermined priority corresponding to the user ID of the submitted job is automatically set to the job, and the job is By executing this, the purpose is to efficiently operate the computer system, operate it politically, reduce the workload of computer operators, and aim for efficient use in unmanned operation, and prioritize jobs in association with user IDs. A priority storage file that determines and stores the priority in advance, and a job priority setting that extracts the priority corresponding to the user ID of the submitted job from this priority storage file and sets this priority to the job. The job priority setting program is configured to execute the job based on the priority (P priority) set for the job by the job priority setting program.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a job priority setting method for automatically setting job priorities. There is a need for a method for automatically setting job priorities for computer users in large computer centers such as universities and research institutes.

In recent years, the processing power of computers has become large-scale, the number of users has also increased, and a variety of jobs have been executed. However, when viewed on a user-by-user basis, jobs that are executed often show the same tendency depending on the user, and it is possible to distinguish between jobs that use computer resources effectively and jobs that do not. Therefore, from the standpoint of computer system administrators, it is required to operate the computer system efficiently by setting a difference between the priority of jobs that use computer resources effectively and the priorities of other jobs. .

For this reason, it is necessary to focus on the same tendency of job characteristics among users and set the priority of jobs by users.

Furthermore, since there are a large number of users and jobs, automatic setting is desired.

[Problem to be solved by the prior art and the invention] Conventionally, the priority of a job is a fixed value, a total of '11. It was set by the R operator, or by the user as the jockey.

Therefore, in order to set the priority for each user or each job, there is a problem in that the computer operator has to monitor the ZIP input and set the priority each time.

The present invention automatically sets a predetermined priority corresponding to the user ID of an submitted job to the job and executes zip, thereby efficiently operating a computer system.
The purpose is to reduce the operational burden on 81 computer operators from a policy standpoint and to promote efficient use in unmanned operation.

[Means to solve problems]

FIG. 1 shows a basic configuration diagram of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the priority storage file 3 associates the priorities determined for each user based on the past computer usage rate (for example, vector unit usage rate, etc.) by the zip priority determination program 1 with the user ID. This is a file to be stored.

The job priority setting program 2-1 is a program that extracts the priority corresponding to the user ID of the submitted job from the priority storage file 3 and sets this priority to the job.

[Effect]

As shown in FIG. 1, in response to job submission, the job priority setting program 2-1 determines the priority (job priority) corresponding to the user ID of the submitted job from the priority storage file 3. The priority determination program 1 retrieves the priority determined in advance according to the user's past usage rate, the priority determined by policy, etc.), sets the retrieved priority to the job, and registers it in the system (queues it). (enqueue to the priority class) and execute the job according to the priority class.

Therefore, by automatically setting a predetermined priority corresponding to the user 10 of the submitted job to the job and executing it according to this priority class, the computer system can be operated efficiently, the computer system can be operated politically, and It becomes possible to reduce the operator's work burden and to aim for efficient use in unmanned operation.

〔Example〕

First, with reference to FIG. 2, a procedure for determining a priority for each user, setting this for a submitted job, and executing the job will be explained. Here, a case will be described below in which, in a computer center equipped with vector computers and general-purpose computers, priorities are determined for each user based on the utilization rate of jobs that frequently use hector portions and jobs that do not.

In Fig. 2, ■ indicates the SM from the SMF information file 4.
The CPU, VU (vector unit) usage time information of the F type 30 record is read and the usage rate is calculated for each user. This is execution information (SMF) collected about jobs executed in the past for each user (for each user ID).
Information: This means that the job priority determination program l calculates the VU (vector unit) usage rate for each user from the SMF type 30 record).

(2) determines whether the usage rate is below 20%, between 20% and 50%, or above 50%.

In case (2), if it is determined that it is 20% or less, the priority level is determined to be 0.

■If it is determined to be 20% to 50%, priority =
Decide 3.

For (2), when it is determined that the priority is 50% or more, the priority level is determined to be 5.

(2) stores and saves the priority in the priority storage file 3; This means that the priority is stored and saved in association with the user ID.

(2) The user inputs a job (submits a job).

In ■, the job priority setting program 2-1, which constitutes a part of the job registration program 2, retrieves the priority corresponding to the user ID of the job submitted in ■ from the priority storage file 3, and Set to .

0 registers the job. This means that the jobs are enqueued and registered in the queue in the order of the priority set for the jobs in (■).

■: Jobs registered in [Phase] are executed in order of priority.

As described above, for each user, a high priority is determined in advance for jobs executed in the past, for example, in descending order of vU usage rate, and this priority is set for the submitted job, and then By executing the job, it is possible to effectively utilize the hector computer. In addition, by determining a high priority for a specific user based on policy and storing it in advance in the priority storage file 3, a high priority is automatically set for the input user and the job is executed. It is also possible to have it performed preferentially.

Next, the configuration and operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained using FIG.

In FIG. 3, ■ is job priority determination program 1
Based on the SMF information file 4, the priority is determined for each user (for each user ID) as shown, and stored in the priority storage file 3. This decision may be made by giving a high priority to a user ID with a high usage rate, as shown in the steps in Figure 2 ■ to ■, or by giving a high priority to a specific user fD based on policy. do.

(2) In response to job submission, the job priority setting program 2-1 retrieves the priority corresponding to the user [D of the submitted job from the priority storage file 3.

In (2), the job priority setting program 2-1 sets the priority retrieved in (2) to the job as shown.

■ registers the job whose priority was set in ■ in the system. As shown in the diagram, if the CPU processing time is expected to be 10 minutes or less for jobs whose priority is set in ■, for example, the job is enqueued to the class in order of priority. It means. For example, if you try to enqueue a job for user l under the illustrated queuing state of ■, since user 4 (priority 5) and user 3 (priority 1) are already queued, Since the priority of the user 11 is "2", the enqueue is inserted between users 4 and 3. Further, jobs whose processing time of CP[J is 10 minutes or more are enqueued in the class B queue.

(2) extracts the first queued job for each class (class fa such as class A, class B, etc.) and executes it as shown in the figure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a configuration is adopted in which a predetermined priority corresponding to the user ID of an submitted job is automatically set to the job, and the job is executed based on this priority. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently operate the computer system, reduce the workload of computer operators, and efficiently execute unmanned operation. Further, by predetermining a high priority for a specific user based on policy, it is also possible to automatically give priority to this user to execute a job.
