Managing data distribution to networked client computing devices

摘要

A method for managing data distribution within a networked computing environment, the method including receiving one or more tasks and associated task priorities. The method includes determining a current resource allocation for a plurality of computing devices within the networked computing environment. The method includes determining, based, at least in part, on the received task priorities and the current resource allocation, at least one of the plurality of computing devices to assign as a source computing device, and sending at least one of the one or more tasks to the at least one source computing device.

1. A method for managing data distribution within a networked computing environment, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server including one or more computer processors, one or more tasks and one or more task priorities that are respectively associated with the one or more tasks; determining, by the server, a current resource allocation for a plurality of computing devices within the networked computing environment; determining, by the server, based, at least in part, on the received task priorities and the current resource allocation, a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices to assign as a first source computing device of one or more source computing devices with respect to a first task of the one or more tasks; assigning, by the server, (i) a second computing device of the plurality of computing devices as a first target computing device of a plurality of target computing devices to receive data associated with the first task and (ii) a third computing device of the plurality of computing devices as a second target computing device of a plurality of target computing devices to receive the data associated with the first task, wherein:
each target computing device of the plurality of target computing devices is assigned to download the first task of the one or more tasks from a respective source computing device of the one or more source computing devices,the first computing device can be assigned as a third target computing device with respect to a subsequent task of the one or more tasks, andone of the second computing device and the third computing device can function as a second source computing device with respect to the subsequent task of the one or more tasks; and sending, by the server, the data associated with the first task to the first source computing device.
