Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for job distribution within a grid environment is disclosed. The method includes: receiving jobs at a submission cluster for distribution of the jobs to at least one of a plurality of execution clusters, each execution cluster comprising one or more execution hosts; determining resource capacity corresponding to each execution cluster; determining resource requirements for the jobs; dynamically determining a pending job queue length for each execution cluster based on the resource capacity of the respective execution clusters and the resource requirements of the jobs; and forwarding jobs to the respective execution clusters according the determined pending job queue length for the respective execution cluster.
