Scheduling Classes - perfsonar/pscheduler GitHub Wiki

There are four scheduling classes:

background and background-multi - Background tests that produce single and multiple (streaming) results. These run in parallel with anything else.

normal - Single-result tests that consume modest amounts of resources, can run alongside each other but not high resource consumers. The test runs in parallel with normal, background and background-multi tests.

exclusive - Single-result tests that consume enough resources to influence the results of other measurements and are therefore given near-exclusive use of the system. These run in parallel only with background and background-multi.
