Architecture-Independent Request-Scheduling with Tight Waiting-Time Estimations

In the course of the last few years, the user's interaction with parallel computer-systems has changed. A continuous growth in the number of interactive HPC-applications can be observed. When considering partitionable MPP-systems with exclusive usage of the physically separated regions, issues like the average waiting-time become more dominant for the users than the total system-throughput.
