Abstract
The present invention relates to a method, apparatus, and computer program product for scheduling in job execution. According to embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method for scheduling a plurality of job slots shared by one or more pre-processors and one or more post-processors in job execution, wherein the data generated by the pre-processor(s) will be fed to the post-processor(s) for processing. The method comprises: determining an overall data generation speed of the pre-processor(s); determining an overall data consumption speed of the post-processor(s); and scheduling allocation of at least one of the job slots between the pre-processor(s) and the post-processor(s) based on the overall data generation speed and the overall data consumption speed. Corresponding apparatus is disclosed as well.
