Terracotta wants to give Java developers more control over where jobs run across distributed computing systems. The company today announced an upgrade to Quartz, an open source job scheduler that the company acquired in 2009.

Quartz 2.0 includes an enhanced application programming interface (API), an enhanced management interface and the addition of Quartz Where, which allows developers to specify which application workloads should be run on a specific machine.

According to Steve Harris, head of engineering for Terracotta, the ability to specify what application workloads should run where in a distributed enterprise is a response to the need for developers to break up large applications into modular sets of workloads that can be optimally run on different classes of machines.

That capability, he added, is going to be a fundamental requirement of running Java applications across multiple instances of cloud computing services.
