It must also be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless otherwise specified. It will be further understood that the terms “includes” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

The following description discloses several preferred embodiments of systems, methods and computer program products for optimizing a workflow of a storlet architecture.

In one general embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a computation algorithm to be implemented by one of a plurality of nodes, determining one or more computation operations required by the computation algorithm, identifying virtualization unit metadata for each of the plurality of nodes, determining, from the plurality of nodes, an optimal node for implementing the computation algorithm based on the one or more computation operations and the virtualization unit metadata for each of the plurality of nodes, and returning an identification of the optimal node.
