Abstract
Reliability-aware scheduling of processing jobs on one or more processing entities is based on reliability scores assigned to processing entities and minimum acceptable reliability scores of processing jobs. The reliability scores of processing entities are based on independently derived statistical reliability models as applied to reliability data already available from modern computing hardware. Reliability scores of processing entities are continually updated based upon real-time reliability data, as well as prior reliability scores, which are weighted in accordance with the statistical reliability models being utilized. Individual processing jobs specify reliability requirements from which the minimum acceptable reliability score is determined. Such jobs are scheduled on processing entities whose reliability score is greater than or equal to the minimum acceptable reliability score for such jobs. Already scheduled jobs can be rescheduled on other processing entities if reliability scores change. Additionally, a hierarchical scheduling approach can be utilized.
