It is the process of assigning tasks 11 from jobs to client machines. The design is heavily inspired by Google's work on 12 both [Omega: flexible, scalable schedulers for large compute clusters][omega] and 13 [Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg][borg]. See the links below 14 for implementation details on scheduling in Nomad. 15 16 - [Scheduling Internals](/docs/internals/scheduling/scheduling) - An overview of how the scheduler works. 17 - [Preemption](/docs/internals/scheduling/preemption) - Details of preemption, an advanced scheduler feature introduced in Nomad 0.9. 18 19 [omega]: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub41684.html 20 [borg]: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html
