摘要:
A method, system and computer program product for distributing intermediate data of a multistage computer application to a plurality of computers. In one embodiment, a data manager calculates data usage demand of generated intermediate data. A computer manager calculates a computer usage, which is the sum of all data usage demand of each stored intermediate data at the computer. A scheduler selects a target computer from the plurality of computers for storage of the generated intermediate data at such that a variance of the computer usage demand across the plurality of computers is minimized.

A technique is provided for creating virtual units in a computing environment. A virtual system definition is received by a processor that is utilized to create the virtual units for a virtual system. Relationship constraints between the virtual units in the virtual system are received by the processor. The relationship constraints between the virtual units include a communication link requirement between the virtual units and/or a location requirement between the virtual units. The virtual units in the virtual system are deployed by the processor according to the relationship constraints between virtual units.

Coordinating tasks of performance management and application placement management in a dynamic fashion by: estimating capacity needs for various service classes of service requests; computing desired capacities of at least one application for said service requests; deciding whether the desired capacities are satisfied by a current application placement; making no change to current application placement if the desired capacities are satisfied; determining a new application placement based on the desired capacities and a projected load if the desired capacities are not satisfied; computing corresponding capacity constraints for all pairs of service classes and servers; and computing an optimal allocation of capacities among the service classes so as to optimize a quality of service.
摘要:
Apparatus, systems and methods for service and/or business for coordinating tasks of performance management and application placement management in a dynamic fashion. An example process is dynamic in the face of fluctuations in the request load to the distributed computer system and the periodic adjustments to the placement of applications onto servers in said distributed computer system. There are two opposite functional flows in said process: a demand estimation function and a capacity adjustment function. The coordination system involves two subsystems: a demand estimator and a capacity adjuster, along with appropriate interfaces to of the performance manager and the application placement manager. This results in application placement process reacting quicker to demand fluctuations, performance guarantees are better met by rearranging the resources to be allocated to the various classes of service, and the management system works in an unsupervised mode, thus reducing manual administration costs and human errors.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for supporting a large number of intermittently used application clusters without consuming all the resources needed to run server processes for all the application clusters all the time. A method in accordance with the present invention comprises: holding an application request for a dormant application cluster in a holding zone; changing a status of the dormant application cluster to active; changing a status of an unused active application cluster to dormant; stopping server processes for the newly dormant application cluster; starting server processes for the newly active application cluster; and directing the application request held in the holding zone to the server processes for the newly active application cluster.
摘要:
A method, system and apparatus for on-demand application resource allocation. In accordance with the method of the invention, an anticipated workload can be compared to a measured capacity for an application cluster in one or more server computing nodes in a server farm. If the measured capacity warrants a re-configuration of the application clusters, a new placement can be computed for application server instances in individual ones of the server computing nodes. Subsequently, the new placement can be applied to the server computing nodes in the server farm. In this regard, the applying step can include starting and stopping selected ones of the application server instances in different ones of the server computing nodes to effectuate the new placement.
