  • Scheduling cluster resources to a job based on its type, particular scheduling algorithm,and resource availability in a particular resource stability sub-levels
    Patent number: 10778807
    Abstract: An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a method and apparatus for scheduling resources in a cloud system. The method according to the present disclosure comprises steps of: determining, according to stability of computing resources in the cloud system, respective resource priority levels of the respective computing resources; determining a scheduling algorithm corresponding to a current job when it is needed to schedule the resources; and allocating the resources based on the scheduling algorithm and resource priority levels of currently available respective computing resources. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: by differentiating the priorities of the computing resources and supporting a plurality of scheduling algorithms, resource scheduling is performed based on a variety of scheduling algorithms and resource priorities, which enhances the flexibility of resource scheduling and enhances the resource utilization and system throughput.
