Evaluation of properties of the Backfill algorithm for jobs scheduling on a computing cluster

In the paper we investigate the properties of the Backfill algorithm for jobs scheduling on a computing cluster. The decision of applying the Backfill procedure is being made using an analytic form for error probability. Parameters of efficiency for the considered algorithm are the mean waiting time in the queue and the number of errors when applying the Backfill procedure. We also provide a conclusion on the algorithm efficiency depending on characteristics of a job flow.
