In 1999, BMC acquired the Israeli firm New
Dimension Software (flagship product
CONTROL-M), which made application
service as well as management software, for
$673 million cash. New Dimension Software's
products handled such tasks as security
administration, document management and
multi-platform job scheduling. In 2000, BMC
bought "an Israeli maker of enterprise
application management software for
mainframe computer system", named
Optisystems, for $70 million.

Supercomputer - Operating systems
While in a traditional multi-user computer
system job scheduling is in effect a tasking
problem for processing and peripheral
resources, in a massively parallel system, the
job management system needs to manage
the allocation of both computational and
communication resources, as well as
gracefully dealing with inevitable hardware
failures when tens of thousands of
processors are present.

* Master/Agent architecture — the
historic architecture for Job
Scheduling software. The Job
Scheduling software is installed on a
single machine (Master), while on
production machines only a very
small component (Agent) is installed
that awaits commands from the
Master, executes them, then returns
the exit code back to the Master.

Job scheduler - History
Job Scheduling has a long history. Job
Schedulers have been one of the major
components of IT infrastructure since the
early mainframe systems. At first, stacks of
punched cards were processed one after
the other, hence the term “batch
processing.”
