DECENTRALIZED JOB SCHEDULING IN A TOPOLOGY AGNOSTIC ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A scheduling client (200), employed on a compute node (102) deployable in a network (101) of compute nodes (102), for scheduling a job in the network (101) is provided. The scheduling client (200) comprises a job execution module and a consensus module (202). The job execution module (201) receives a job for execution at the compute node (102), obtains resource availability data from each of the compute nodes (102) in the network (101), determines an executing compute node (102) from the compute nodes (102) in the network (101) for executing the job based on the resource availability data, and processes the job at the executing compute node (102). The consensus module (202) participates in a consensus with the compute nodes (102) of the network (101), for updating the resource availability data.
