摘要
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying virtualization unit metadata for each of a plurality of nodes, the virtualization unit metadata including one or more guidelines for an application that is implemented by a virtualization unit, where the one or more guidelines include one or more benefits of a virtualization unit, one or more limitations of the virtualization unit, and one or more operating costs of the virtualization unit; determining, from the plurality of nodes, an optimal node for implementing a computation algorithm based on one or more required computation operations and the virtualization unit metadata for each of the plurality of nodes; and returning an identification of the optimal node.
說(shuō)明書
The present invention relates to data storage, and more specifically, this invention relates to assigning computation algorithms to nodes within an object storage system.
Object storage enables the storage and management of unstructured data in the form of objects. A storlet architecture is a popular means of implementing object storage, where each node within the storlet architecture acts as a compute node (utilizing a virtualization unit) to implement computation operations (utilizing computation algorithms). However, current methods for determining a particular compute node to implement a computation algorithm are inefficient and do not consider factors such as licensing types and guidelines associated with virtualization units of compute nodes.
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying virtualization unit metadata for each of a plurality of nodes, the virtualization unit metadata including one or more guidelines for an application that is implemented by a virtualization unit, where the one or more guidelines include one or more benefits of a virtualization unit, one or more limitations of the virtualization unit, and one or more operating costs of the virtualization unit; determining, from the plurality of nodes, an optimal node for implementing a computation algorithm based on one or more required computation operations and the virtualization unit metadata for each of the plurality of nodes; and returning an identification of the optimal node.
