A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling, as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing, though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.
Modern batch applications make use of modern batch frameworks such as Jem The Bee, Spring Batch [8] or implementations of JSR 352 [9] written for Java, and other frameworks for other programming languages, to provide the fault tolerance and scalability required for high-volume processing.
Portable Batch System (or simply PBS) is the name of computer software that performs job scheduling. Its primary task is to allocate computational tasks, i.e., batch jobs, among the available computing resources. It is often used in conjunction with UNIX cluster environments.
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. [1] The purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices [ 2 ] for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.
It has since evolved into a sophisticated batch scheduler capable of satisfying the requirements of many large computer centers. As of November 2021 [update] , TOP500 list of most powerful computers in the world indicates that Slurm is the workload manager on more than half of the top ten systems.
Batch production scheduling is the practice of planning and scheduling of batch manufacturing processes. Although scheduling may apply to traditionally continuous processes such as refining, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] it is especially important for batch processes such as those for pharmaceutical active ingredients, biotechnology processes and many specialty ...
In system software, a job queue (a.k.a. batch queue, input queue), is a data structure maintained by job scheduler software containing jobs to run. [1] Users submit their programs that they want executed, "jobs", to the queue for batch processing. The scheduler software maintains the queue as the pool of jobs available for it to run.
The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.
