Utility
Seismic processing task predictive scheduler
6 Dec 22
A method for scheduling tasks includes receiving input that was acquired using one or more data collection devices, and scheduling one or more input tasks on one or more computing resources of a network, predicting one or more first tasks based in part on the input, assigning one or more placeholder tasks for the one or more predicted first tasks to the one or more computing resources based in part on a topology of the network, receiving one or more updates including an attribute of the one or more first tasks to be executed as input tasks are executed, modifying the one or more placeholder tasks based on the attribute of the one or more first tasks to be executed, and scheduling the one or more first tasks on the one or more computing resources by matching the one or more first tasks to the one or more placeholder tasks.
