Abstract

Jobs are scheduled in a cluster comprising multiple computing nodes. The scheduling of jobs includes defining rules for constructing virtual sub-clusters of the multiple computing nodes. The multiple nodes in the cluster can be placed into multiple virtual sub-clusters based on the rules, wherein one computing node can only be included in one virtual sub-cluster. A job is received and dispatched to a selected virtual sub-cluster. At least one computer node is scheduled for the dispatched job in the selected virtual sub-cluster. Further, the job is dispatched to the selected virtual sub-cluster based on characteristics of the job and/or characteristics of virtual sub-clusters.
