Abstract

A computer-implemented method for scheduling a set of jobs executed in a computer system can include determining a workload-time parameter for a set of at least one job. The workload-time parameter can relate to execution-time parameters for the set of at least one job. The method can include determining a schedule tuning parameter for the set of at least one job, the schedule tuning parameter based on the workload-time parameter. The method can include generating a scheduling factor for each job in the set, the scheduling factor generated based on the schedule tuning parameter. The method can include scheduling the set of at least one job based on the scheduling factor.
