Meta-scheduling or super scheduling is a
computer software
Software is a set of computer programs and associated documentation and data. This is in contrast to hardware, from which the system is built and which actually performs the work.
At the lowest programming level, executable code consists ...
technique of optimizing computational workloads by combining an organization's multiple
job schedulers into a single aggregated view, allowing
batch job
Computerized batch processing is a method of running software programs called jobs in batches automatically. While users are required to submit the jobs, no other interaction by the user is required to process the batch. Batches may automatically ...

Meta-Scheduling for MPSoCs
Meta-scheduling technique is a solution for scheduling a set of dependent or independent faults with different scenarios that are mapping and modeling in an event-tree. It can be used as a dynamic or static scheduling method.
Scenario-Based Meta-Scheduling (SBMeS) for MPSoCs and NoCs
Scenario-based and multi-mode approaches are essential techniques in embedded-systems, e.g., design space exploration for MPSoCs and reconfigurable systems.
Optimization techniques for the generation of schedule graphs supporting such a ''SBMeS'' approach have been developed and implemented.
''SBMeS'' can promise better performance by reducing dynamic
scheduling
A schedule or a timetable, as a basic time-management tool, consists of a list of times at which possible task (project management), tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or of a sequence of events in the chronological order ...
