SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC CACHE DISTRIBUTION FOR IN-MEMORY DATA GRIDS

摘要

Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that use constraint programming to dynamically distribute cache throughout a data grid. In one embodiment, modeling logic is configured to generate a constraint programming model based at least in part on a set of constraints that limits assignment of a plurality of data partitions to a plurality of virtual machines hosted on a plurality of physical machines in a data grid. Solver logic is configured to generate at least one solution for assigning the plurality of data partitions to the plurality of virtual machines by operating on the constraint programming model using constraint programming techniques.

1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
specifying a set of constraints, in a first data structure stored in a first memory, that limits assignment of a plurality of data partitions to a plurality of virtual machines in a data grid; generating a constraint programming model, which includes the set of constraints, in a second data structure stored in a second memory; and generating at least one solution, in a third data structure in a third memory, for assigning the plurality of data partitions to the plurality of virtual machines in the data grid by applying, by at least one processor of the computing device, constraint programming techniques to the constraint programming model, wherein the at least one solution balances a data load among the plurality of virtual machines and balances a processing load among the plurality of virtual machines.
