  • Rescheduling jobs for execution by a computing system
    Patent number: 8271982
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for rescheduling jobs for execution by a computing system. The computing system receives job related data associated with a plurality of jobs to be executed by the computing system, time constraint data, and maximum time shift values associated with the time constraint data. The computing system determines that a start time for execution of a first job of the plurality of jobs should be rescheduled. The computing system receives workload statistics. The computing system determines based on the workload statistics, a first start time for the first job. The computing system compares the time constraint data with the first start time to determine if the first start time is in conflict with the time constraint data. The computing system stores the first start time.
