MAST: coordinated data placement and global ML job scheduling

Contribution grade

Geo-distributed ML infrastructure · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score65,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Decoupled slow regional data-placement planning from fast job scheduling, combining GPU/data colocation, resource-aware placement and local scheduling across Meta's geo-distributed datacenters.

Scientific scope

Decoupled slow regional data-placement planning from fast job scheduling, combining GPU/data colocation, resource-aware placement and local scheduling across Meta's geo-distributed datacenters. The home-region formulation uses historical usage estimates, soft GPU balancing and hard storage/CPU constraints; home and replica placement are not solved jointly. New jobs may wait for on-demand data movement. External resource assignments, quotas, preemption and freshness policies remain constraints; observed overload reduction is not a universal optimality theorem.
