Method and apparatus for task allocation in a distributed computing environment

摘要

Method and system for submitting computing jobs in a distributed computing environment including receiving a job request with an instruction to execute a computing job, selecting a job handler for handling the computing job based on selection information and submitting the computing job to the selected job handler. The invention can be embodied in a client unit, thus providing a decentralized distribution of computing jobs and avoiding bottlenecks in the distribution of computing jobs for example in a computing grid.
