Abstract
A method for estimating job start times on a system may include: performing a first simulation of the system by a first process to generate a first estimate of the start time based a first snapshot of the computing system; and performing a second simulation of the system to generate a second estimate of the start time. The first and second estimates may each be either a distinct time estimate or a range of time estimate, depending on whether the simulations dispatches the job before the respective first and second processes end. The method may then include generating a fifth estimate of the time that the computing job will start by a third process based on estimates respectively generated by the first and second processes.
