Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for managing workload distribution among a plurality of compute nodes are provided. Embodiments include monitoring, by the distribution controller, consumption of workload assignments by each compute node of the plurality of compute nodes; and distributing, by the distribution controller, unconsumed workload assignments to one or more compute nodes of the plurality of compute nodes based on the consumption of the workload assignments of each compute node of the plurality of compute nodes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for bootstrapping an object client system with an object server system in a distributed system is provided. The method and apparatus are particularly applicable to use over the internet with web servers and web browsers. The method allows the use of a “zero install” web client to operate on remote objects through the web server, and can thus facilitate a host of distributed object operations. An object reference server is used to distribute an object reference for a naming context object to an object request broker on the web browser. In the preferred embodiment, the object reference server comprises a web server with access to the object reference and the object reference comprises a stringified object reference. By delivering the stringified object reference to the web browsers, interaction between the web browser and remote server objects over the internet is facilitated.
