Abstract
A technique for job distribution within a grid environment includes receiving a job at a submission cluster for distribution of the job 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. An optimum execution cluster is selected for receiving the job based on a weighting factor applied to select resources of the respective execution clusters.
