Projects receive time shares instead of priority ranks
The Allen Institute for AI, an AI research institute known as Ai2, has replaced priority queues for graphics processing units with project time budgets. Its scheduler distributes computing time among research projects according to allocations and actual use.[1], [2]
Managers assign projects shares of graphics processor time. The scheduler compares those allocations with use over a sliding window, seven days by default, giving underused shares precedence over overused ones. Jobs using otherwise spare capacity are not charged against budgets, but can be interrupted from the outset.[1]
