NODE MANAGEMENT FOR A CLUSTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17808864 titled 'NODE MANAGEMENT FOR A CLUSTER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, device, and computer program for managing a cluster of computing nodes. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The invention involves grouping a cluster of computing nodes into a hierarchy of groups based on grouping policies.
  • Each group in the hierarchy has a leader node, which is responsible for collecting and reporting the status of all computing nodes in that group.
  • The leader node of a lower-level group reports the status to the leader node of the higher-level group in the hierarchy.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in various distributed computing systems, such as cloud computing platforms or data centers.
  • It can be used to efficiently manage and monitor large clusters of computing nodes, ensuring smooth operation and resource allocation.

Problems Solved:

  • Managing and monitoring a large number of computing nodes in a cluster can be challenging and time-consuming.
  • This technology solves the problem of efficiently collecting and reporting the status of computing nodes in a hierarchical manner, reducing the complexity of node management.

Benefits:

  • The hierarchical grouping and reporting approach simplifies the management of large clusters, making it easier to monitor and control the computing nodes.
  • It improves the efficiency of node management by reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed and reported.
  • The technology enhances the overall stability and performance of the cluster by ensuring timely and accurate status updates.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a computer-implemented method, a device and a computer program product of node management for a cluster of a cluster of computing nodes. A plurality of computing nodes in a cluster can be grouped into a hierarchy of groups according to a hierarchy of grouping policies. One of computing nodes in each group of the hierarchy of groups can be determined as a leader node of the corresponding group. A leader node of a first group can be responsible for collecting and reporting status of all computing nodes in the first group to a leader node of a second group superior to the first group by one level in the hierarchy of groups.
