Abstract
The running time advisor (RTA), which can predict the running time of a compute-bound task on a shared host running a variant of the Unix operating system, was described. These predictions are valuable for scheduling the soft real-time tasks of distributed interactive applications such as scientific visualizations. The RTA predicts running time as a confidence interval computed to the application's requested confidence level. Confidence levels provide a simple abstraction to the application and even provide information to enable valid statistical reasoning in the scheduling process.
