APS/LCRC

The traces shared here are HPC cluster traces, instead of cloud traces. Two types of traces are included — the traces from a small Sun Grid Engine cluster in the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and the traces from a general purpose mid-scale cluster in Laboratory Computing Resource Center (LCRC) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Both traces contain data from 2013-10-06 to 2015-09-05.

APS trace format

• submit_time: Timestamp when job submitted
• start_time: Timestamp when job started
• end_time: Timestamp when job ended
• run_time: Time difference between start_time and end_time
• wait_time: Time difference between submit_time and start_time

LCRC trace format

• SubmitTime: Timestamp when job submitted
• StartTime: Timestamp when job started
