Simultaneous scheduling of processes and offloading computation on many-core coprocessors

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for scheduling jobs to manycore nodes in a cluster, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:

• selecting a job to run according to the job's wait time and the job's expected execution time;
• sending job requirements to all nodes in a cluster, wherein each node comprises a manycore processor;
• determining at each node whether said node has sufficient resources to ever satisfy the job requirements and, if no node has sufficient resources, deleting the job;
• creating a list of nodes that have sufficient free resources at a present time to satisfy the job requirements;
• and
• assigning the job to a node using a processor, based on a difference between an expected execution time and associated confidence value for each node and a hypothetical fastest execution time and associated hypothetical maximum confidence value.
