Reviewed a research replication proposal focused on the Slicer sharding system, comparing it against a prior GPU scheduling proposal. The study takes a narrower, more focused approach: pure replication of a single algorithm using Kubernetes-native tooling rather than building custom Python schedulers.
Key differences from your GPU scheduling proposal:
- This is a pure replication study (no extension)
- Uses KWOK simulation instead of discrete-event simulators
- Builds Kubernetes controllers in Go instead of Python schedulers
- Simpler scope: one algorithm (Slicer) vs. combining multiple (Tiresias/Gavel/FGD)
