Abstract
Various techniques are described herein for creating data partition process schedules and executing such partition schedules using multiple parallel process instances. Data processing tasks initiated by or for applications may be executed by creating and executing partition schedules, in which a number of different process instances are created and each assigned a subset of data to process. Partition schedules may be used to determine a number of process instances to be created, and each process instance may be assigned a unique set of run-time data values corresponding to a unique set of parameters within the data set to be processed by the application. The process instances may operate independently and in parallel to retrieve and process separate partitions of the data required for the overall data processing task initiated by/for the application.
