  • Workload balancing between nodes in a cluster as required by allocations of IP addresses within a cluster
    Patent number: 9276899
    Abstract: Balancing workload distributed between nodes in a cluster through allocations of IP addresses by determining, for each node, an imbalance metric for each possible pairing of the plurality of an IP address assignable to the node based upon the distances between the IP addresses in each pairing and selectively distributing a plurality of IP addresses between the nodes in a cluster based upon minimizing the sum of the imbalance metrics of the IP addresses for each of the nodes in the cluster resulting from the selected distribution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2016
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Leif R. Sahlberg, Martin Schwenke

    Publication number: 20130326065
    Abstract: Balancing workload distributed between nodes in a cluster through allocations of IP addresses by determining, for each node, an imbalance metric for each possible pairing of the plurality of an IP address assignable to the node based upon the distances between the IP addresses in each pairing and selectively distributing a plurality of IP addresses between the nodes in a cluster based upon minimizing the sum of the imbalance metrics of the 1P addresses for each of the nodes in the cluster resulting from the selected distribution.
