The Master Schedular
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 load balance the the resources that it is managing.
When a 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.
