Abstract
The present invention provides a fault tolerant system and method for parallel job execution. In the proposed solution the job state and the state transition control are decoupled. The job execution infrastructure maintains the state information for all the executing jobs, and the job control units, one per-job, control the state transitions of their jobs. Due to the stateless nature of the control units, the system and method allow jobs to continue uninterrupted execution even when the corresponding control units fail.
