What is "networkcomputer"

NetworkComputer (NC), previously known as Flowtracer/NC, is a commercial job scheduler developed by Runtime Design Automation.

NC is used to manage a computer farm or computer cluster and is responsible for accepting, scheduling, dispatching, and managing the remote execution of standalone, parallel, or interactive user jobs. It also manages the allocation of resources such as processors, memory, disk space, software licenses, and custom objects to jobs that require them.

NC uses a unique event-driven scheduler that results in very low overhead per job, usually in the millisecond range.
