# XCE Scheduler

## Overview
C-based job scheduling engine with a plugin architecture. Determines job-to-node assignments based on resource requirements and scheduling policies.

## Build
```bash
# From workspace root
nix develop
meson build && ninja -C build
```

## Architecture
- Plugin-based: scheduling policies live under `src/plugins/`
- Each plugin implements a standard scheduling interface
- Core engine selects the active plugin at runtime

Links against `libxce` from `src/lib/`.

## Conventions
- C standard: gnu17
- Format with `clang-format`
- New scheduling policies → add as a plugin under `src/plugins/`, do not modify the core engine
- Shared types defined in `src/include/xce/` (libxce)
