From https://github.com/timnon/pyschedule :
> pyschedule is python package to compute resource-constrained task schedules. Some features are:
- precedence relations: e.g. task A should be done before task B
- resource requirements: e.g. task A can be done by resource X or Y
- resource capacities: e.g. resource X can only process a few tasks
Previous use-cases include:
- school timetables: assign teachers to classes
- beer brewing: assign equipment to brewing stages
- sport schedules: assign stadiums to games

> Slurm is the workload manager on about 60% of the TOP500 supercomputers.[1]
Slurm uses a best fit algorithm based on Hilbert curve scheduling or fat tree network topology in order to optimize locality of task assignments on parallel computers.[2]
... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_curve_scheduling :
> [...] the Hilbert curve scheduling method turns a multidimensional task allocation problem into a one-dimensional space filling problem using Hilbert curves, assigning related tasks to locations with higher levels of proximity.[1] Other space filling curves may also be used in various computing applications for similar purposes.[2]
