Abstract
Techniques are provided for scheduling computational tasks among multiple classes of storage resources based on a job classification. A job to be executed is classified into one of a plurality of predefined job classes. Each predefined job class is associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of predefined storage classes. The job is then assigned based on the classification to one of the storage resources of the predefined storage class associated with the classified predefined job class. Exemplary predefined storage classes include a performance class, a capacity class, a key-value storage class, and a shingled disk drive class. Exemplary predefined job classes include a CPU Intensive job class, an IO Intensive job class and a Small IO job class. Data required for a job is optionally prefetched before the job is assigned to a storage device. Data objects to be evicted from a storage device are optionally selected based on an anticipated future access.
