[0066] Figure 1 The flowchart of an embodiment of the computing resource discovery method according to the present disclosure is as follows. The computing resource discovery method of the present disclosure is applied to a computing resource requesting device, such as Figure 1 As shown:

[0067] Step 101: Send a first Domain Name System (DNS) query message to a Domain Name System (DNS) device; wherein the information carried in the first DNS query message includes: computing service information and other information.

[0068] Step 102: Receive a first DNS response message returned by the DNS device; wherein the information carried in the first DNS response message includes: computing service resource instance information and other information.

[0069] Step 103: determine the target computing resource based on the computing service resource instance information.

[0070] In one embodiment, multiple methods can be used to determine the target computing resource based on the computing service resource instance information. The information carried by the first DNS response message also includes information such as the query device address information. The query device can be multiple devices, for example, the query device can be a proxy gateway, etc. The computing service resource instance information is sent to the query device according to the query device address information, and the target computing resource is determined based on the computing resource information returned by the query device.

[0071] In one embodiment, the computing service resource instance information is information that matches the computing service information, the number of computing service resource instance information may be one or more, and the number of proxy gateway address information may be one or more; and the information carried by the first DNS response message also includes the correspondence between the computing service resource instance information and the proxy gateway address information.

[0072] The DNS device includes a local DNS server, an authoritative DNS server and other devices. The local DNS server and the authoritative DNS server pre-store information such as computing service resource instance information and proxy gateway address information. The computing resource request device sends a first DNS query message to the local DNS server. If the local DNS server stores computing service resource instance information and proxy gateway address information that match the computing service information, it returns a first DNS response message to the computing resource request device.

[0073] If the local DNS server does not store the computing service resource instance information and the proxy gateway address information that match the computing service information, the local DNS server sends a request to the authoritative DNS server to obtain the computing service resource instance information and the proxy gateway address information that match the computing service information. After the local DNS server receives the computing service resource instance information and the proxy gateway address information that match the computing service information returned by the authoritative DNS server, the local DNS server sends a first DNS response message to the computing resource requesting device.

[0074] Generate a computing resource query message based on the computing service resource instance information, and send the computing resource query message to the proxy gateway according to the proxy gateway address information. Receive the computing resource response message returned by the proxy gateway, and determine the target computing resource based on the computing resource information carried in the computing resource response message. The target computing resource can be a variety of servers, computing devices and other devices.

This system includes computing resource requesting device A, computing resource requesting device B, proxy gateway, computing resource providing device A, computing resource providing device B, local DNS resolution server A, local DNS resolution server B, authoritative DNS resolution server and other devices.

[0076] The computing resource discovery method disclosed in the present invention is applied to computing resource requesting device A and computing resource requesting device B. The computing resource requesting device A and computing resource requesting device B can be various servers and other devices. The computing resource requesting device A and computing resource requesting device B are located in a local area network (located in a domain). The local DNS server A provides DNS services to the computing resource providing device A and the computing resource providing device B.

[0077] The target computing resource may be computing resource providing device A, computing resource providing device B, etc., computing resource providing device A and computing resource providing device B may be various servers, computing devices, etc., computing resource providing device A and computing resource providing device B are located in another local area network (located in another domain). The local DNS server B provides DNS services to computing resource providing device A and computing resource providing device B. The authoritative DNS resolution server provides DNS services to devices in each local area network.

[0078] A proxy gateway can be set up in a local area network, which is responsible for publishing, registering, relaying and responding to computing resource services of all computing resource providing devices in the local area network. Computing resource requesting device A and computing resource requesting device B can interact with the proxy gateway through various existing methods.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 3A As shown in the figure, the format of the DNS query (request) message (message) is the same as that of the DNS response message (message), which is divided into five parts: Header, Question, Answer, Authority, and Additional. The message format of the Question part is as follows Figure 3B As shown, the Question part includes QNAME, QTYPE, and QCLASS fields. DNS records can be of various types. For example, A records are used to query IPV4 addresses, AAAA records are used to query IPV6 addresses, SRV records are used to specify specific services, PTR records are used to implement reverse DNS lookups, and TXT records are text records.

[0080] The Answer, Authority, and Additional parts have the same format. Each part consists of several fields (entities), and each field (entity) is an RR. The DNS resource record format (the format of the Answer, Authority, and Additional parts) is as follows: Figure 3C As shown, the DNS resource record includes fields such as NAME, TYPE, CLASS, TTL, RDLENGTH, and RDATA.

[0081] In one embodiment, the first DNS query (request) message may use a variety of DNS query messages. For example, the first DNS query message is a DNS PTR query message, and the field of the DNS PTR query message carrying the computing service information may be a QNAME field.

[0082] The first DNS response message may use a variety of DNS response messages. For example, the first DNS response message may be a DNSPTR response message, etc. The fields of the DNSPTR response message carrying the computing service resource instance information and the proxy gateway address information include RDATA fields and other fields.

[0083] The computing service resource instance information includes computing resource name information and other information; the proxy gateway address information includes proxy gateway IP address and other information.

[0084] In one embodiment, the DNS message can be extended to carry computing service information.

The computing service information includes computing service attribute information and domain name information; the computing service attribute information includes one or more label values ​​of computing power model, computing power resource architecture model, computing power resource architecture, computing power resource type, and computing power resource size.

[0085] For example, the format of computing service information is <service> . <domain> ， <service>The value of some is computing service attribute information, which represents the relevant attributes of computing resources; <domain>The value of the part is the domain name information, which is used to represent the domain name to which the computing resource belongs. The .local subdomain is used in the local area network, and other subdomains can also be used.

[0086] <service>The part contains multiple tags; the first tag (computing model tag) is used to describe the computing model, and the value of the first tag can be ReNet, Yolo, RCNN, SSD, GCN, etc.; the second tag (computing resource architecture model tag) is used to describe the computing resource architecture model, and the computing resource architecture can be CPU, GPU architecture, etc., and the value of the second tag can be 1808, 3399, 3568, etc.; the third tag (computing resource architecture tag) is used to describe the computing resource architecture, and the value of the third tag can be CPU, GPU, AI processing unit, FPGA, etc.; the fourth tag (computing resource type tag) is used to describe the computing resource type, and the value of the fourth tag can be KPU (Kernel Processing Unit, kernel processor), NPU, TPU, etc.; the fifth tag (computing resource size tag) is used to describe the required computing resource size.

[0087] For example, a computing service information is "RCNN.1808.TPU.CPU.5.eCloud.com", where "RCNN.1808.TPU.CPU.5" is <service>The value of the part; "eCloud.com" is <domain>The value of the part is the domain name information.

[0088] By carrying multi-dimensional requirements for computing resources in the service part of the DNS PTR query message (request), such as multi-label information such as computing power model, model, architecture, size, etc., accurate matching of computing resources can be achieved.

[0089] In one embodiment, after the computing resource requesting device sends a DNS PTR query message, it receives a DNS PTR response message. The RDATA field of the DNS PTR response message carries computing service resource instance information and proxy gateway address information (PTR resource record). The number of computing service resource instance information can be one or more. The computing service resource instance information includes computing resource name information, and the computing service resource instance information may also include computing service attribute information and domain name information; the proxy gateway address information includes information such as the proxy gateway IP address.

[0090] For example, the format of Compute service resource instance information is <instance> . <service> . <domain>,in, <instance>The value of indicates the computing resource name, which can be the name of the computing resource, no larger than 63 bytes. The computing resource name is configured by the computing resource provider. Alternatively, the format of computing service resource instance information is <instance>.

[0091] By using DNS resource records to describe computing resources, DNS services can be used to provide computing resource matching services, which can make full use of existing resources in the network.

[0092] In one embodiment, the computing resource query message sent by the computing resource request device to the proxy gateway includes a second DNS query message. The computing resource request device generates the second DNS query message, and the information carried by the second DNS query message includes computing resource name information and other information.

[0093] The second DNS query message may be a variety of messages. For example, the second DNS query message includes a DNS SRV query message and a DNS TXT query message, and the information carried by the DNS SRV query message and the DNS TXT query message includes computing resource name information.

[0094] The computing resource response message sent by the proxy gateway to the computing resource request device includes the second DNS response message and other messages. The computing resource request device receives the second DNS response message returned by the proxy gateway, and the information carried by the second DNS response message includes computing resource information.

[0095] The computing resource information may be a variety of information. For example, the computing resource information includes information such as the host name and port number of the computing resource, resource availability information, etc. The second DNS response message may be a variety of messages. For example, the second DNS response message includes a DNS SRV response message and a DNS TXT response message, and the information carried by the DNS SRV response message includes: the host name and port number of the computing resource; the information carried by the DNS TXT response message includes resource availability information.

[0096] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another embodiment of the computing resource discovery method according to the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown:

[0097] Step 401: The computing resource requesting device sends a DNS PTR query message to the local DNS server. For example, the computing service information carried by the QNAME field in the DNSPTR query message is "RCNN.1808.TPU.CPU.5.eCloud.com".

[0098] Step 402: The local DNS server sends a recursive query request to the authoritative DNS server.

[0099] Step 403: The authoritative DNS server returns a response message to the local DNS server. The response message carries information including multiple computing service resource instance information and the IP address of the proxy gateway corresponding to the multiple computing service resource instance information. The multiple computing service resources all match the computing service information.

[0100] Step 404: The computing resource requesting device receives a DNS PTR response message returned by the local DNS server. The RDATA field in the DNSPTR response message carries information of multiple computing service resource instances and the IP address of the proxy network.

[0101] For example, a computing service resource instance information (computing service resource name) is “ESC-SH-M1”, that is, the computing service resource name is “ESC-SH-M1.” A computing service resource name (instance) list is generated based on multiple computing service resource instance information.

[0102] Step 405: The computing resource requesting device sends a DNS SRV query message to the proxy gateway. The information carried in the DNS SRV query message includes a list of computing service resource names (instances).

[0103] Step 406: The computing resource requesting device receives a DNS SRV response message, and the DNS SRV response message carries information including host names and port numbers of multiple computing resources. The multiple computing resources are computing resources corresponding to all computing service resource names in the computing service resource name (instance) list.

[0104] Step 407: The computing resource requesting device sends a DNS TXT query message to the proxy gateway. The information carried in the DNS TXT query message includes a list of computing service resource names (instances).

[0105] Step 408, the computing resource requesting device receives the DNS TXT response message, the information carried in the DNS TXT response message includes resource availability information of multiple computing resources, and the information carried in the DNS TXT response message also includes billing rules, location and other information of multiple computing resources. The multiple computing resources are computing resources corresponding to all computing service resource names in the computing service resource name (instance) list, and the computing resources can be computing resource providing devices, etc.

[0106] By sending a DNS query message to the proxy gateway, the proxy gateway can obtain additional information such as the host names and port numbers of multiple computing resources and resource availability information of multiple computing resources by querying the local DNS server and the authoritative DNS server. The computing resource requesting device can determine the target computing resource from the multiple computing resources based on the resource availability information of the multiple computing resources. The number of target computing resources can be one or more.

[0109] Step 502, receiving an address response message sent by the proxy gateway; wherein the address response message includes address information of the target computing resource; the address information may be an IP address, etc.

[0110] After obtaining the address information of the target computing resource, the computing resource requesting device may send a computing service request to the target computing resource based on the address information of the target computing resource.

[0111] In one embodiment, the address query message includes a DNS A query message and / or a DNS AAAA query message, and the address response message includes a DNS A response message and / or a DNS AAAA response message.

[0114] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of determining a target resource in an embodiment of a computing resource discovery method according to the present disclosure, wherein the number of computing resource information and resource availability information is multiple, such as Figure 6 As shown:

[0115] Step 601: Select available resource information that can meet resource demand information as candidate available resource information.

[0116] In one embodiment, the resource availability information and resource demand information include: at least one resource information of computing power resources, storage resources, network resources and cache resources. The computing power resource information may be information such as CPU frequency information, the storage resource information may be information such as hard disk available size information, the network resource information may be information such as bandwidth size, and the cache resource information may be information such as memory size.

[0117] For example, resource availability information can be represented in the form of a vector, and the available resources for the i-th resource are: R i (P i , S i , N i , M i ), where R i is the currently available information of the i-th computing resource (the computing resource can be a server, etc.), P i is the currently available computing power resources, S i is the currently available storage resources, N i is the currently available network resources of the connected link, M i It is the currently available cached resource. Assuming that the resource availability information cannot be split, a user request can be answered or rejected.

[0118] The user can set multiple resource requirement information. For example, the jth resource requirement information is The resource requirement vector can be pre-set according to the demand, where Aj is the computing resource requirement, Bj is the storage resource requirement, Cj is the storage resource requirement, and Dj is the storage resource requirement. i is the service price information of the jth resource demand vector.

[0119] There are many ways to select the available information of resources that meet the resource requirements. For example, if R i Every element in is greater than or equal to Q j The corresponding element in R i is the available information of candidate resources. The available information of resources that meet the resource requirements can be selected according to formula (1-1):

[0120] A=(P i ≥A i )∧(S i ≥B i )∧(N i ≥Ci)∧(M i ≥D i ) (1-1);

[0121] If A = 0, then determine this R i Not available information for candidate resources; if A=1, then determine this R i Available information for candidate resources.

[0122] Step 602: When there are multiple candidate resource available information, calculate the resource distance between each candidate resource available information and the resource demand information.

[0123] In one embodiment, the distance between the candidate resource available information and the resource demand information is Euclidean distance or Mahalanobis distance. For example, if there are multiple candidate resource available information, the resource distance (Euclidean distance) between each candidate resource available information and the resource demand information is calculated based on formula (1-2):

[0124]

[0125] Among them, VS ij represents the resource distance (Euclidean distance) between the jth resource demand vector (user demand) and the ith resource available information vector (characterizing the available resources of the server, etc.); if A = 0, then I A (a) is 0; if A=1, then I A (a) is 1.

[0126] Step 603: Determine the resource priority value according to the resource distance, resource demand information and service price information.

[0127] Step 604: Use the computing resource corresponding to the maximum resource priority value as the target computing resource.

[0128] In one embodiment, a first score is determined based on resource distance and a resource sensitivity weighting coefficient; a second score is determined based on resource demand information, service price information and a price sensitivity weighting coefficient; and the sum of the first score and the second score is calculated as the resource priority value; wherein the sum of the resource sensitivity weighting coefficient and the price sensitivity weighting coefficient may be 1.

[0129] For example, the resource priority value can be calculated according to formula (1-3):

[0130]

[0131] Among them, W ij is the resource priority value, which represents the priority value between the jth resource demand information and the ith resource available resources (ith server and other resources); the first score is α×VS ij , the second score is Y i is the service price information; ||Q j || is the norm of the jth resource demand vector; Y i is the service price information of the jth resource demand vector; α is the resource sensitivity weighting coefficient, β is the price sensitivity weighting coefficient, α+β=1; the resource matching strategy is adjusted by adjusting the sensitive weighting coefficient to meet the personalized needs of users.

[0132] W ij The computing resource corresponding to the maximum value of is used as the target computing resource, that is, as the computing resource provider. By providing a resource optimization matching method that takes both resource and price factors into consideration, the optimal resource can be matched in multiple dimensions.

[0133] The computing resource discovery method in the above embodiment can realize computing resource discovery service in the whole network scenario by transmitting computing service and resource information between multiple devices through DNS messages, and can determine the computing resources that meet the business needs, realize the optimal match between computing resource users and computing resource providers, and improve the effective utilization rate of resources; by setting the computing service information as multi-dimensional information, accurate matching of computing resources can be achieved; and by providing a resource optimization matching method of both resources and price factors, it can match the optimal resources in multiple dimensions to meet the personalized needs of users; it can solve the problem of reasonable and accurate matching of computing resources in the current computing power network, and can provide guarantees in terms of matching and supply of computing resources.
