     9  
    10  Scheduling is a core function of Nomad. 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.
