     7  # Scheduling
     8  
     9  Scheduling is a core function of Nomad. It is the process of assigning tasks
    10  from jobs to client machines. The design is heavily inspired by Google's work on
    11  both [Omega: flexible, scalable schedulers for large compute clusters][omega] and
    12  [Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg][borg]. See the links below
    13  for implementation details on scheduling in Nomad.
