Abstract: A job submission method that presents a set of algorithms that provide automated workload selection to a batch processing system that has the ability to receive and run jobs on various computing resources simultaneously is provided. If all machines in the batch system are running jobs, a queue containing the extra jobs for execution results. For compute intensive workloads, such as chip design, an automated workload selection system software layer submits jobs to the batch processing system. This keeps the batch processing system continually full of useful work The job submission system provides for organizing workloads, assigning relative ratios between workloads, associating arbitrary workload validation algorithms with a workload or parent workload, associating arbitrary selection algorithms with a workload or workload group, defining high priority workloads that preserve fairness and balancing the workload selection based on current status of the batch system, validation status, and the workload ratios.
