SkyPilot's large-scale job scheduling system
For scenarios that require massive computing resources, such as hyperparameter tuning and parallel simulation, SkyPilot has developed a professional-grade task queue management system. The system can coordinate thousands of computing tasks at the same time, maximizing the use of distributed resources.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Dynamic resource allocation: Intelligent allocation of GPU/CPU resources based on task priority
- Job queue optimization: using a scheduling strategy that combines first-in-first-out (FIFO) and priorities
- Fine-grained status tracking: provides detailed job execution logs and resource utilization reports
Practical cases show that in the grid search task of computer vision model, the system can complete the test of 2560 sets of hyperparameter combinations in 8 hours, which improves the efficiency by 17 times compared with the traditional manual scheduling. The built-in load balancing mechanism ensures that the utilization rate of each computing node is maintained above 85%.
