Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for job management in a distributed network include a prioritizer that determines a priority level for a job and inserts the job into a priority queue based on the priority level, a scheduler that, for each element in the distributed network, requests the priorities of one or more jobs scheduled for execution, evaluates, based on the priorities of the one or more jobs scheduled for execution, the priority of a particular job with respect to the element, determines, based on the priorities, that the network element is free to perform job processes, and upon determining that a network element is free, scheduling a particular job for execution, and an executor that determines that all local and remote resources required for the scheduled job are available and executes the job according to processes defined within the distributed network.

Scheduling complex jobs in a distributed network

Methods and systems for context-aware distributed computing. In one aspect, a system includes a work administrator system; an API; a worker module; and a work administrator. One or more worker modules register with one or more work administrators. The worker modules may inform the work administrators of their processing capabilities and capacity. The work administration system receives a request for processing via the API. A work administrator parses a request into one or more discrete work requests and publishes each work request to the worker modules. The worker modules notify the work administrator whether they can perform the work, along with load and capabilities. The work administrator a worker module to perform each work request. When a worker module completes the work, it notifies the work administrator. The work administration system may aggregate the results from one or more worker modules and provide a response via the API.
