Abstract

Techniques for scheduling multiple flows in a multi-platform cluster environment are provided. The techniques include partitioning a cluster into one or more platform containers associated with one or more platforms in the cluster, scheduling one or more flows in each of the one or more platform containers, wherein the one or more flows are created as one or more flow containers, scheduling one or more individual jobs into the one or more flow containers to create a moldable schedule of one or more jobs, flows and platforms, and automatically converting the moldable schedule into a malleable schedule.
