LOAD BALANCING FOR MESH COMPUTING

摘要

Techniques for load balancing in a network of nodes can include a first node receiving and/or generating a request having an identifier, task description, and information regarding an entity originating the request. The first node can either perform the task and report back to the originating entity of the completion of the task, or forward the request to a random one of a plurality of other nodes with which the first node is communicatively connected.

1. A server configured to operate as a node in a network of nodes, the server comprising:
a communication interface configured to be communicatively coupled with a plurality of nodes of the network of nodes; a memory; and a processing unit communicatively coupled with the communication interface and the memory and configured to:
obtain a first request comprising:
a request identifier,a description of a first task to perform, andinformation regarding an entity originating the first request;determine that the server does not have sufficient resources to perform the first task at the server;as a result of the determination, select a node from the plurality of nodes; andsend, via the communication interface, the first request to the selected node.
