DETERMINING TASK DISTRIBUTION IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), by selecting a number of distributed storage and task execution (DST) EX units to favorably execute partial tasks of the corresponding tasks. The method continues by determining task partitioning based on one or more of distributed computing capabilities of the selected DST EX units. The method continues by determining processing parameters of the data based on the task partitioning. The method continues by partitioning the task(s) based on the task partitioning to produce the partial tasks. The method continues by processing the data in accordance with the processing parameters to produce slice groupings and sending the slice groupings and corresponding partial tasks to the DST EX units in accordance with a pillar mapping.

1. A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
receiving data and a corresponding task(s); selecting a number of distributed storage and task execution (DST EX) units to favorably execute partial tasks of the corresponding task(s); determining task partitioning based on one or more of distributed computing capabilities of the selected DST EX units; determining processing parameters of the data based on the task partitioning; partitioning the task(s) based on the task partitioning to produce the partial tasks; processing the data in accordance with the processing parameters to produce slice groupings; and sending the slice groupings and corresponding partial tasks to the DST EX units in accordance with a pillar mapping.
