  • Patent number: 11513858
    Abstract: The present application reveals a system for computing and a method for arranging nodes thereof, which is applied for a remote host connected with a plurality of computing nodes divided to a plurality of first nodes and second nodes due to a first computing mode and a second computing mode. After the remote host receives a job, the remote host evaluates the computing nodes in accordance with the job and a corresponding priority weight parameter to generate a job beginning data to set the first nodes or the second nodes and to proceed the job. While setting the first or the second nodes, the remote host provides the corresponding system image to the corresponding nodes; while the first or the second nodes are full in resource arrangement, the empty nodes will be converted to the supplement nodes with the corresponding system image from the remote host.
