Abstract
Systems and methods for scheduling tasks using sliding time windows are provided. In certain embodiments, a system for scheduling the execution of tasks includes at least one processing unit configured to execute multiple tasks, wherein each task in the multiple tasks is scheduled to execute within a scheduler instance in multiple scheduler instances, each scheduler instance in the multiple scheduler instances being associated with a set of time windows in multiple time windows and with a set of processing units in the at least one processing unit in each time window, time windows in the plurality of time windows having a start time and an allotted duration and the scheduler instance associated with the time windows begins executing associated tasks no earlier than the start time and executes for no longer than the allotted duration, and wherein the start time is slidable to earlier moments in time.
