API FOR RESOURCE DISCOVERY AND UTILIZATION

摘要

Various embodiments are disclosed for enabling multiple computing devices having a decentralized operating system to effectively monitor and manage resources across the multiple devices. In some embodiments, the systems are able to identify a set of local resources available for utilization by an application running on the decentralized operating system. A resource message identifying the set of local resources can be generated using a resource discovery and utilization application programming interface. This information can then be sent to a requestor (e.g., an application running on the decentralized operating system) which can create a resource utilization plan.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying, at a first computing device of a group of multiple computing devices having a decentralized operating system spanning the multiple computing devices, a set of local resources available for utilization by an application running on the decentralized operating system; generating, using a processor of the first computing device, a resource message identifying the set of local resources available at the first computing device, wherein the resource message is generated in accordance with a peripheral device discovery application programming interface used by the decentralized operating system; and sending, over a network, the resource message from the first computing device to the application running on the decentralized operating system.
