title: jobd
abstract: >-
  A self-hostable, GPU-aware job broker for personal and lab-scale compute.
  jobd queues long-running batch work across heterogeneous machines, matching
  jobs to workers by capability tags (CUDA, VRAM capacity, installed tooling),
  and exposes the queue natively to language-model agents through the Model
  Context Protocol (MCP) in addition to a CLI and HTTP API. Designed for
  research workflows where compute outlives any single interactive session.

# Only the concept DOI is recorded here. Zenodo mints a version DOI AFTER the
# GitHub release is published, so a "DOI for this specific release" in this
# file is stale by construction on the commit that ships the release (it named
# the v0.5.38 record beside version 0.5.42 until the 2026-09-02 audit). Each
# release's own DOI is listed on the Zenodo record the concept DOI resolves to.
