SCHEDULER FOR PLANET-SCALE COMPUTING SYSTEM

The disclosure herein describes scheduling execution of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in a cloud infrastructure platform. A global scheduler receives AI workloads associated with resource ticket values. The scheduler distributes the AI workloads to nodes based on balancing resource ticket values. Local schedulers of the nodes schedule AI workloads on resources based on the resource ticket values of the AI workloads. Based on scheduling the AI workloads, coordinator services of the local schedulers execute the distributed AI workloads on the infrastructure resources of the nodes. The disclosure further describes scheduling AI workloads based on priority tiers. A scheduler receives AI workloads, and each AI workload is associated with a priority tier indicative of a preemption priority while being executed. The AI workloads are scheduled for execution on a distributed set of nodes based on the priority tiers and then execute based on the scheduling.
