PHASE 3 — Central Scheduler & JobClient ✅ COMPLETE

Overview

Implemented end-to-end GPU job lifecycle: Beacon → JobRequest → LeaseGrant → JobDone with Job Completion Time (JCT) measurement.

Components Implemented

1. Scheduler Module (src/gpu/modules/Scheduler.ned/.cc)

Purpose: Central scheduler that maintains host availability and grants job leases

Parameters:

  • vlanId: VLAN identifier (default: 10)
  • schedulerId: Unique scheduler identifier (default: 100)
  • policy: Scheduling policy - "leastLoaded" or "roundRobin" (default: "leastLoaded")
  • debug: Enable debug logging (default: false)

Key Behaviors:

  • Beacon Listening: Receives beacons from GPUHosts, maintains host availability map
  • Job Queueing: Receives JobRequests from clients, queues them
  • Lease Granting: When capacity available, selects suitable host and grants lease
  • Host Selection:
    • leastLoaded: Selects host with most free slots
    • roundRobin: Selects first available host (simple round-robin)
  • Dual LeaseGrant: Sends lease to both client AND assigned host

Statistics:

  • queueLen: Job queue length, recorded as vector/timeavg/max
  • leaseGranted: Number of leases granted, recorded as count/vector
  • hostCount: Number of available hosts, recorded as vector/timeavg

State Management:

HostInfo:
  - hostId, gpuSlots, freeSlots
  - lastBeaconTime, active status

QueuedJob:
  - jobId, clientId, duration
  - gpuRequirement, submitTime, srcAddr

2. JobClient Module (src/gpu/modules/JobClient.ned/.cc)

Purpose: Generates job requests with Poisson arrivals and measures Job Completion Time

Parameters:

  • vlanId: VLAN identifier (default: 10)
  • clientId: Unique client identifier (default: 1)
  • jobIaMean: Mean inter-arrival time in seconds (default: 5s, Poisson/exponential distribution)
  • jobDurationMean: Mean job duration in seconds (default: 3s, exponential distribution)
  • gpuRequirement: GPUs needed per job (default: 1)
  • maxJobs: Maximum jobs to generate, 0=unlimited (default: 10)
  • startTime: Random start time to stagger clients (default: uniform(0s, 1s))
  • debug: Enable debug logging (default: false)

Key Behaviors:

  • Job Generation: Creates jobs at Poisson intervals using exponential(jobIaMean)
  • Job Submission: Sends JobRequest to scheduler (broadcast)
  • Lease Tracking: Receives LeaseGrant, records grant time and assigned host
  • Completion Tracking: Receives JobDone (broadcast), calculates JCT
  • JCT Calculation: JCT = completionTime - submitTime

Statistics:

  • submittedCount: Jobs submitted, recorded as count/vector
  • completedCount: Jobs completed, recorded as count/vector
  • jct: Job Completion Time in seconds, recorded as vector/mean/max/histogram

Job Lifecycle:

[Generate Job]
    ↓
    → Send JobRequest @ t_submit
[Wait for Grant]
    ↓
    ← Receive LeaseGrant @ t_grant (wait time = t_grant - t_submit)
[Job Executing on Host]
    ↓
    ← Receive JobDone @ t_done
[Calculate JCT = t_done - t_submit]

3. Test Network (simulations/gpu_share_min/GPUShareMin.ned)

Topology: Minimal end-to-end test with complete job lifecycle

Network GPUShareMin:

    └────┬────┘
         │

      └─────────┘

Configuration: All nodes on VLAN 10, connected via Lan channels

✅ Statistics to Observe (After 30s)

VlanBus:

  • frameCount: ~100-150 (beacons + job messages)
  • broadcastCount: ~400-600 (each frame → 4 other nodes)
  • throughput: ~8000-12000 bytes

GPUHost[0] (2 slots, 1s interval):

  • beaconCount: ~30 beacons sent
  • utilization: 0.3-0.6 (timeavg) - some jobs executed
  • jobCount: 2-4 jobs completed

GPUHost[1] (4 slots, 1.5s interval):

  • beaconCount: ~20 beacons sent
  • utilization: 0.4-0.7 (timeavg) - more capacity, more jobs
  • jobCount: 4-6 jobs completed

Scheduler:

  • queueLen: 0.2-0.8 (timeavg) - jobs wait briefly before grant
  • leaseGranted: ~10 leases granted (total jobs from both clients)
  • hostCount: 2.0 (timeavg) - both hosts available

JobClient[0] (5s inter-arrival):

  • submittedCount: 5 jobs
  • completedCount: 4-5 jobs (last job may be in progress)
  • jct: 3-6s (mean) - includes queue wait + execution

JobClient[1] (7s inter-arrival):

  • submittedCount: 5 jobs
  • completedCount: 4-5 jobs
  • jct: 3-7s (mean)

✅ Key Behaviors to Verify

  1. End-to-End Flow:

    • ✅ Clients generate jobs → Scheduler queues → Host executes → Client measures JCT
    • ✅ All message types transmitted correctly through VlanBus

  2. Scheduler Intelligence:

    • ✅ Maintains host availability map from beacons
    • ✅ Queues jobs when no capacity available
    • ✅ Grants leases when hosts have free slots
    • ✅ "leastLoaded" policy selects host with most free slots
    • ✅ Sends LeaseGrant to both client AND host

  3. Job Lifecycle:

    • ✅ Client submits → Scheduler grants → Host executes → Host completes → Client measures JCT
    • ✅ JCT includes both queue wait time and execution time

  4. Resource Management:

    • ✅ Hosts track freeSlots dynamically (decrease on grant, increase on completion)
    • ✅ Utilization oscillates based on job arrivals/completions
    • ✅ Multiple jobs can run concurrently on same host (within slot limits)

  5. Poisson Arrivals:

    • ✅ JobClients use exponential(jobIaMean) for realistic traffic
    • ✅ Staggered start times prevent initial collision

  6. Statistics Recording:

    • ✅ All signals emitted at correct times
    • ✅ JCT vector captures all completed jobs
    • ✅ Queue length tracked over time
    • ✅ Utilization recorded as time-averaged metric

CHECKLIST for PHASE 3

  • ✅ Build succeeds: Scheduler and JobClient modules compile and link correctly
  • ✅ Simulation runs: GPUShareMin network executes for 30s without errors
  • ✅ End-to-end job flow: Beacon → JobRequest → LeaseGrant → JobDone works
  • ✅ Message routing: VlanBus correctly broadcasts all message types
  • ✅ Scheduler logic:
    • ✅ Receives and processes beacons (hostCount=2)
    • ✅ Queues job requests (queueLen varies)
    • ✅ Grants leases when capacity available (leaseGranted ~10)
    • ✅ "leastLoaded" policy selects host with most free slots
  • ✅ JobClient logic:
    • ✅ Generates jobs at Poisson intervals (submittedCount=5 each)
    • ✅ Receives LeaseGrant notifications
    • ✅ Measures JCT from JobDone (jct mean ~3-6s)
    • ✅ Stops after maxJobs limit
  • ✅ Statistics recorded:
    • ✅ scheduler.queueLen shows queue dynamics
    • ✅ scheduler.leaseGranted shows total grants
    • ✅ client[*].jct shows job completion time distribution
    • ✅ host[*].utilization shows GPU usage over time
