Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for providing a sequencer that schedules job descriptors are described. The sequencer can manage the scheduling of the job descriptors for execution based on the availability of their respective segments and channels. For example, the sequencer can check the status of the segments, and identify one or more segments that are in busy or full state, or one or more segments that are in non-busy or empty state. Based on the status check, the sequencer can execute job descriptors out of order, and in particular, give priorities to job descriptors whose associated segments are available over job descriptors whose associated segments are in busy or full state.
