Foil 26 The Workings of Typical Cluster Management Software - 3

From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part II:The Practical Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox
On each of the resource workstation daemons are present that
communicate their state at regular intervals to the master
scheduler.
One of the tasks of the master scheduler is to evenly balance the
load on the resources that it is managing.
So, when a new job is submitted it not only has to match the
requested resources with those that are available, but also needs to
ensure that the resources being used are load balanced.
