Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a technique for job distribution within a grid environment includes receiving jobs at a submission cluster for distribution of the jobs to at least one of a plurality of execution clusters where each execution cluster includes one or more execution hosts. Resource attributes are determined corresponding to each execution host of the execution clusters. For each execution cluster, execution hosts are grouped based on the resource attributes of the respective execution hosts. For each grouping of execution hosts, a mega-host is defined for the respective execution cluster where the mega-host for a respective execution cluster defines resource attributes based on the resource attributes of the respective grouped execution hosts. Resource requirements for the jobs are determined, and candidate mega-hosts are identified for the jobs based on the resource attributes of the respective mega-hosts and the resource requirements of the jobs.
