Abstract
Embodiments relate to scheduling operations to perform on objects. A method for scheduling operations to perform on objects is provided. The method identifies a plurality of operations to perform on a plurality of objects each having at least one attribute. At least one of the operations has scheduling dependency on another operation. The method generates a numeric value for each of the objects from the attribute of the object. The method schedules the operations to perform on the objects based on the numeric values of the objects and the scheduling dependency.
