Abstract

Driven by our work on a large-scale distributed microscopic road traffic simulator, we present ENHANCE, a novel re-partitioning approach that allows incorporating fine-grained simulator-specific cost models into the partitioning process to account for the actual performance characteristics of the simulator. The use of explicit cost models enables partitioning for heterogeneous resources, which are a common occurrence in cloud deployments. Importantly, ENHANCE can be used in conjunction with other partitioning approaches by further enhancing partitions according to provided cost models. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach in an experimental evaluation showing performance improvements of up to 29% against METIS under heterogeneous conditions. Taking a different perspective, the partitioning produced by ENHANCE can provide similar performance as METIS, but using up to 20% fewer resources.
