Abstract
Systems and methods for scheduling jobs in a networked computing grid having job service components for creating jobs having certain resource requirements are described. One embodiment includes resource manager components communicatively linked with the job service components, each resource manager component being configured to manage a plurality of resources. Such a system further includes information components communicatively linked with the job service components and the resource manager components, the information components being configured to aggregate resource data obtained from the resource manager components. The jobs include a scheduling mechanism for querying the information components for resource data, comparing the resource data against the resource requirements and independently scheduling the job to the resource manager components. A resource reservation is also provided for reserving resources for the jobs.
