Dispatching the Processing of a Computer Process Amongst a Plurality of Virtual Machines

摘要

Scheduling of processes in a cluster of physical machines. Complex processes are split into elementary processes. To run each elementary process, an isolated execution environment is created and allocated on a physical machine. The isolated execution environment is created in order to have a computing capacity at least equal to a computing load of the elementary process.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions for scheduling execution of computer processes on a cluster of physical computing machines, which when executed, cause:
splitting a computer process into a number of elementary computer processes, each of the elementary computer processes having a defined computing load; and instantiating an isolated execution environment for each elementary computer process, wherein each instantiated isolated execution environment possesses a computing capacity equal to or higher than the computing load of the computer process associated therewith, and wherein each instantiated isolated execution environment executes upon a physical machine in a cluster of physical machines.
