Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for backfilling jobs based on energy aware scheduling are provided. A first job is received at a scheduler, where the scheduler manages one or more running jobs based on a plurality of system resources. The plurality of system resources comprises at least one resource constraint. A resource consumption of the first job is estimated based on one or more resource requirements of the first job. A first resource requirement of the one or more resource requirements is determined to exceed the resource constraint. In response to determining that the first resource requirement of the first job exceeds at least one resource constraint, at least one of (i) the first resource requirement of the first job and (ii) the plurality of system resources is modified. The first job is scheduled.
