Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provides techniques for defragmenting blocks of resources allocated to perform computing jobs on a distributed or clustered system so that more contiguous physical resources may be made available to users submitting new job requests. Typically, the defragmentation process is performed when a job is submitted that requires access to a computing block that is larger than any currently available block in the parallel computing system.
