Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1 illustrates an example of a computer cluster 100 in which the mechanism of the present invention is used. The cluster includes N computer nodes 110 i (i=1, 2, 3, . . . N). Each computer node is an independent entity equipped with processors, memory, and its own copy of an operating system. Each computer node is also equipped with a network interface connecting it to a network 120, typically an Internet Protocol (IP) based network. It is to be noted here that the mechanism of the present invention does not depend on the transport protocol, but may be applied in many different environments. However, IP networks constitute a typical environment for the present invention.

[0023] Each time, one of the computer nodes, in this example node 110 1 Acts as an administrator node that manages the cluster and its resources. In order to detect failures occurring in the cluster, the administrator node periodically sends heartbeat messages HB to other computer nodes in ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a mechanism for transmitting status information in a computer cluster with multiple computer nodes. In the method, heartbeat messages are periodically sent from a first computer node of a computer cluster to other computer nodes in the cluster. Each other node includes at least one resource that performs at least one cluster-specific task. In order to gather up-to-date state information about the ability of said resource to perform cluster-specific tasks even in large clusters, without unduly loading computer nodes and the network, current state information is sent back in heartbeat acknowledgment messages The node of the message.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to computer clusters comprising a plurality of computer nodes. More particularly, the invention relates to a mechanism for collecting state information within a cluster. In this document, status information refers to data indicating how the resources of a computer node are able to complete their tasks in the cluster. Thus, the state information may not only include data indicating the current load of the various resources of the computer node, but also data about the current performance or capacity of the resources in the computer node, i.e. about the resources completing their tasks in the cluster. Data on the current capabilities of the task. Background technique [0002] As we all know, a computer cluster is a group of computers that work together to complete one or more tasks. For example, computer clusters can be used for load balancing, improved fault tolerance (ie, improved availability in case of error...
