OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF DYNAMICALLY INSTANTIATED SERVICES AMONG COMPUTATION RESOURCES

摘要

Media are provided for performing methods of allocating tasks among computation resources in an optimal or near-optimal fashion. A method is disclosed for doing so which comprises the steps of receiving a request to instantiate a service which includes a task specification for that service; for each available computation resource, calculating a time metric for the specified task on the computation resource which incorporates a computation time and a transfer time; determining a computation resource based on the time metric calculated for each of the computation resources; selecting a bundle based on the service to be instantiated; and transmitting a message to a launcher running on the chosen computation resource that causes the launcher to instantiate the service on the chosen computation resource from the selected bundle.

1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media, said media containing computer-executable instructions which, when executed, perform a method for dynamically instantiating services comprising the steps of:
receiving a request to instantiate a service; determining a target platform, said target platform running a launcher; selecting a bundle based on the service to be instantiated; and transmitting a message to the launcher running on the target platform, said message indicating the selected bundle and causing the launcher to instantiate the service on the target platform from the selected bundle.
