Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium having stored therein a job scheduling program for allocating jobs to a plurality of information processing apparatuses, the job scheduling program causing a computer to execute a process comprising: calculating depth values representing a degree of interference between jobs by using a two-dimensional array that stores therein jobs to be allocated to the plurality of information processing apparatuses in such a manner that the jobs are digitized and converted into array elements that correspond to the plurality of information processing apparatuses and the calculating being performed on a basis of numerical values that are stored in array elements to which jobs are allocated in the two-dimensional array; searching the two-dimensional array for array elements that can be used for allocation corresponding to the jobs on a basis of the depth values calculated by the depth values calculating; and arranging the jobs by digitizing and converting the jobs into the array elements that can be used for the allocation, if there are array elements that can be used for allocation obtained by the searching.
