Several data-driven deep neural network (DNN)-based schedulers have been proposed in recent years that outperform alternative approaches by providing scalable and effective resource management for dynamic workloads. However, state-of-the-art schedulers rely on advanced DNNs with high computational requirements, implying high scheduling costs. In non-stationary contexts, the most sophisticated schedulers may not always be required, and it may be sufficient to rely on low-cost schedulers to temporarily save operational costs. In this work, we propose MetaNet, a surrogate model that predicts the operational costs and scheduling overheads of a large number of DNN-based schedulers and chooses one on-the-fly to jointly optimize job scheduling and execution costs. This facilitates improvements in execution costs, energy usage and service level agreement violations of up to 11%, 43% and 13% compared to the state-of-the-art methods.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.10640v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.10640v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"learning-to-dynamically-select-cost-optimal","repo_url":"https://github.com/imperial-qore/metanet","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
