1. A method for tracking jobs performed by computing nodes of a cluster computing system, the method comprising:

  • monitoring, by a management computer, a plurality of computing nodes and an availability of resources provided by the plurality of computing nodes in the cluster computing system;

    identifying, by the management computer, a first computing node of the plurality of computing nodes that is available for performing a first job submitted to a job queue;

    identifying, by the management computer, a second computing node of the plurality of computing nodes that is available for performing a second job submitted to the job queue;

    generating a first job state object specific to the first job for tracking a first job status of the first job and a second job state object specific to the second job for tracking a second job status of the second job;

    providing the first job state object to the first computing node and the second job state object to the second computing node;

    updating, after completion of a task of the first job, the first job state object independently of any updates to the second job state object after completion of a task of the second job; and

    updating, after completion of the task of the second job, the second job state object independently of any updates to the first job state object after completion of the task of the first job.
