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