ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for scheduling execution of a grid project in accordance with multiple dimensions of dynamic load factors. The present invention provides a mechanism for determining grid node availability based on both processor load and network traffic loads on the nodes in a grid of computing devices. This availability information is used to determine scheduling of the running of grid projects.
