Is JobServer a workflow processing type system?
Yes it has some features of what can be classified as workflow. Workflow is a broad concept and can have many meanings. Using JobServer, non-programmers can compose jobs from basic TaskBean components and schedule them for execution. JobServer offers extensive tools to allow users to track and monitor jobs before, during, and after they run, including notification features to alter the user of errors or failures. • How many jobs can be scheduled to run at any point in time? JobServer can scale to handle tens of thousands of jobs running concurrently. It is designed to scale with the hardware it runs on. It can take advantage of machines running dozens of CPUs. Advanced scanning and caching algorithms allow JobServer to execute a very large number of jobs with a high degree of precision and concurrency while taking full efficient advantage of system resources (like multiple CPUs). • To what degree of scheduling accuracy will a job run? JobServer executes jobs using a highly optimized sc
