Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, computer program products and systems for a scalable workload scheduling system to accommodate increasing workloads within a heterogeneous distributed computing environment. In one embodiment, a modified average consensus method is used to evenly distribute network traffic and jobs among a plurality of computers. The user establishes a virtual network comprising a logical topology of the computers. State information from each computer is propagated to the rest of the computers by the modified average consensus method, thereby enabling the embodiment to dispense with the need for a master server, by allowing the individual computers to themselves select jobs which optimally match a desired usage of their own resources to the resources required by the jobs.
