Method and system for workload distributing and processing across a network of replicated virtual machines

摘要

A method and a system for creating a network of virtual machines in a communication network including a head node virtual machine (VM) for distribution and processing of a workload. The head node VM is created and hosted at a server computer. The head node VM specifies the workload that is assignable into sub-tasks. A pool of physical computing devices for hosting a plurality of replica VMs is identified. The head node VM is replicated at each one of the plurality of replica VMs. The plurality of replica VMs coordinate to assign at least one workload sub-task to the each one of the plurality of replica VMs. The at least one assigned workload sub-tasks is processed at the respective each one of the plurality of replica VMs to provide at least one sub-task result. The at least one sub-task result is received at the head node VM.
