Exemplary embodiments allow a user to create configurations for use in distributed computing environments. Configurations can be arranged in hierarchies in which elements of the hierarchy can inherit characteristics from elements in other layers of the hierarchy. Embodiments also allow a user to flatten a hierarchical configuration to remove hierarchical dependencies and/or inheriting capabilities of elements in the hierarchy. Exemplary embodiments further allow users to deploy a distributed computing configuration on their desktop to evaluate performance of the configuration and then deploy the configuration in a distributed computing environment without having to change programming code run on the desktop/distributed computing environment.

Dynamic definition for concurrent computing environments

A system is configured to create a profile that allows a job to be performed within a distributed computing environment comprising one or more computing devices; provide an interface that allows the profile to be specified; obtain a scheduler component via the interface, where the scheduler component identifies a scheduler to be used to perform the job and an application that at least one of the computing devices, that is specified by the scheduler, is to use when performing the job; obtain, via the interface, a project component that identifies data on which the job is to be based; and create the profile based on the scheduler component and the project component.
