Abstract: Intelligent process management is provided. A start time is determined for an additional process to be run on a worker node within a duration of a sleep state of a task of a process already running on the worker node by adding a first defined buffer time to a determined start time of the sleep state of the task. A backfill time is determined for the additional process by subtracting a second defined buffer time from a determined end time of the sleep state of the task. A scheduling plan is generated for the additional process based on the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process. The scheduling plan is executed to run the additional process on the worker node according to the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for processing instances of message sequences. Two or more instances are received. Each instance has an instance number and an associated instance Id. Each instance includes a stream of one or more messages. Each message in each stream is associated with a respective task. All messages in the two or more instances whose respective tasks have been completed are distributed into partitions in the broker. Different messages in each instance of at least one instance are distributed into different partitions. The messages distributed in the partitions include parallel task messages. The parallel task messages are sequenced by being grouped by the instance number or instance Id and are sequentially ordered in each group in an ascending order of a timestamp of arrival of each parallel task message at the broker. The parallel task messages in each instance are dispatched to a service.
