Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring distributed execution of programs, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more configured computing systems of a distributed program execution service, configuration information from a user regarding executing an indicated program in a distributed parallel manner on an indicated quantity of computing nodes, the indicated program including a plurality of execution jobs; selecting, by the one or more configured computing systems, multiple computing nodes to use as part of a cluster for executing the indicated program, the selected multiple computing nodes being of the indicated quantity and having an aggregate quantity of each of multiple types of computing resources that are allocated for the executing of the indicated program; initiating the executing of the indicated program in a distributed parallel manner on the multiple computing nodes of the cluster at a first time by initiating execution of at least one of the execution jobs of the indicated program on each of the multiple computing nodes of the cluster; and at a second time subsequent to the first time,
