Continuous optimization of archive management scheduling by use of integrated content-resource analytic model

摘要

A method and associated system for continuously optimizing data archive management scheduling. A flow network is modeled, which creates vertexes organized in multiple levels and creating multiple edges sequentially connecting the vertexes of the multiple levels. The multiple levels consist of N+1 levels denoted as LEVEL₀, LEVEL₁, . . . , LEVEL_N, wherein N is at least 2, wherein LEVEL₀ includes a source vertex, wherein LEVEL₁ includes at least one task vertex associated with at least one archive management task, wherein EDGE_K is directed from the vertex of LEVEL_K−1 to the vertex of LEVEL_K for K=1, . . . , N, wherein EDGE₁ indicates that a first task associated with a first task vertex of LEVEL₁ is scheduled by a job scheduler, and wherein EDGE₁ has a first weight equal to a time unit to perform the first task.
