Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for managing a distributed multi-tiered computing (DMC) environment. The method includes normalizing, by a local controller associated with an DMC domain, task resource demand dimensions for each task associated with a scheduling job; summing the resource demand dimension for each task to generate resource demand vectors; classifying tasks based on priority; sorting tasks based on associated resource demand vectors; obtaining critical path, earliest start time, and latest start time associated with each task; sorting tasks based on critical path and earliest start time; and generating scheduling assignments based on the priority, capacity of devices in a final candidate list, resource demand vectors, earliest start time, and the critical path.
