Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for cross-platform scheduling with fairness and platform-specific optimization are provided herein. A method includes determining dimensions of a set of containers in which multiple tasks associated with a request are to be executed; assigning each of the containers to a processing node on one of multiple platforms based on the dimensions of the given container, and to a platform owner selected from the multiple platforms based on a comparison of resource requirements of each of the multiple platforms and the dimensions of the given container; and generating container assignments across the set of containers by incorporating the assigned node of each container in the set of containers, the assigned platform owner of each container in the set of containers, one or more scheduling requirements of each of the platforms, one or more utilization objectives, and enforcing a sharing guarantee of each of the platforms.
