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.
