About the Cluster Job Scheduler
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

The **cluster job scheduler** allows jobs to run across machines on the network.

Your code sends a job with tasks to the coordinator. The coordinator assigns the tasks to 
agents who run the tasks in the hosts.

The cluster job scheduler:

* Can utilize non-local resources on multiple machines.
* Provides horizontal scalability.
* Includes out of the box monitoring applications, such as the Job/Task Monitors and the Web Portal.
* Allows administration capabilities such as disabling worker machines.
