A first scheduler stores into a memory of a first virtual machine, a first block of jobs to be executed by the first virtual machine, the first block of jobs included in a table stored in a database associated with a server computer system. A second scheduler stores into a memory of a second virtual machine, a second block of jobs to be executed by the second virtual machine. The second block of jobs being included in the table and having a second block size equal to the first block size and including jobs not in the first block. From the first virtual machine memory, the first scheduler schedules one or more jobs in the first block for execution by the first virtual machine. From the second virtual machine memory, the second scheduler schedules one or more jobs in the second block for execution by the second virtual machine.
