APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING RESOURCE IN CLUSTERED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for managing resources in cluster computing environment are provided to manage the various types of heterogeneous resources effectively and minimize the complexity of usage environment. CONSTITUTION: If a resource allocation request is input into a cluster system including heterogeneous resources, a resource managing unit (211) performs an operation necessary for the resource allocation. A resource policy managing unit (212) manages a resource-characteristics-based resource allocation policy and a quantitative resource allocation policy, determines a resource allocation policy based on the characteristics of a task, and generates resource allocation information including information about resources and allocation nodes according to the resource allocation policy. A shared resource capability managing unit (215) manages the topology of nodes connected to a resource allocation device, the capability information of the resources, and the associated resource information of the nodes.
