Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system wherein additional tasks can be added to a dynamic job after the job has been submitted to a scheduler. The added task can then be given the same priority as the tasks of the previously submitted dynamic job it is being added to. That is, the task added to the dynamic job is given priority over tasks and jobs submitted after the dynamic job the task is being added to. In one embodiment, a method is provided for distributing the processing of tasks in a distributed technical computing environment. The method involves the steps of creating tasks at a client, packaging the tasks into a dynamic job, and forwarding the dynamic job to a scheduler for distribution to a plurality of workers in the distributed technical computing environment. An additional task can then be created and added to the previously submitted dynamic job.
