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 attributes corresponding to each execution host of the execution clusters; grouping, for each execution cluster, execution hosts based on the resource attributes of the respective execution hosts; defining, for each grouping of execution hosts, a mega-host for the respective execution cluster, the mega-host for a respective execution cluster defining resource attributes based on the resource attributes of the respective grouped execution hosts; determining resource requirements for the jobs; and identifying candidate mega-hosts for the jobs based on the resource attributes of the respective mega-hosts and the resource requirements of the jobs.
