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. 14 15 - [Scheduling Internals](/docs/concepts/scheduling/scheduling) - An overview of how the scheduler works. 16 - [Preemption](/docs/concepts/scheduling/preemption) - Details of preemption, an advanced scheduler feature introduced in Nomad 0.9. 17 18 [omega]: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub41684.html 19 [borg]: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html
