Game cluster management method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a game cluster management method and device, a game cluster comprises a plurality of logic service clusters and a public cluster. The method comprises steps ofwhen the logic service clusters trigger an expansion process, an expansion request being sent to the public cluster; receiving a response message returned by the public cluster in response to the expansion request, wherein the response message carries an idle target machine; and sending configuration data of a plurality of machines in the logic service cluster to the target machine so that the target machine establishes communication connection with a plurality of machines according to the configuration data, and executes game logic allocated by the logic service cluster. The idle machines are provided through the public cluster, so the logic service cluster can request the machines from the public cluster for capacity expansion when needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of equipment management, in particular to a game cluster management method and a game cluster management device. Background technique [0002] MMORPG (Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, massively multiplayer online role-playing game) game is a kind of heavier game type. For this type of game player, the fluency and stability of the game are very important to give the player a good experience. gaming experience. And while ensuring the player experience, a reasonable server architecture should also meet other characteristics, such as high server resource utilization, simple disaster recovery processing, and ease of development. [0003] There are many existing server architectures, and the following two types are common: [0004] Small server structure: The so-called small server structure means that several machines form a cluster as a logical server, and the clusters of different logical servers are not...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the small server structure has the following disadvantages: due to the gap in the number of players between different logical servers, there is a huge waste of performance on servers with fewer players, while servers with more players are subject to performance bottlenecks

However, there are also problems with the large server structure. First of all, because the logical attribute is used to identify which logical server the player belongs to, this will result in multiple logical server players in the process of the same machine, which greatly increases the difficulty for technicians to write code logic.

At the same time, since all machines form a cluster, the game process on each machine needs to connect to the processes on all machines, resulting in a large number of connections, which is prone to problems

Players in a logic server will be randomly assigned to all machines, which may cause the server-wide broadcast in the logic server to send messages to processes on all machines, which will cause huge performance overhead

[0006] Therefore, the existing server structure is difficult to fully meet the requirements of MMORPG games, and there are more or less unreasonable places. It is necessary to provide an efficient server architecture to avoid other unreasonable structures.
