Abstract:
An example method for direct data placement over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in a network environment is provided and includes creating a queue pair (QP) for unreliable datagram transport in Infiniband according to an OpenFabrics Application Programming Interface (API) specification, mapping data generated by an application for transmission over the QP in a network environment to a UDP datagram, and passing the UDP datagram to a network interface for transmission.
Abstract:
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving by first network device a request for storage resources from a second network device; evaluating a willingness of the first network device to provide the requested storage resources and assigning a willingness score based on the evaluating; determining whether the willingness score is greater than a minimum value; and if the willingness score is greater than the minimum value, providing a response to the request from the first network device to the second network device, wherein the response comprises a bid by the first network device to provide the requested storage resources to the second network device.
Abstract:
A computing system may be configured to receive a plurality of computing tasks for execution. The computing system may determine a first configuration setting for a first computing task and a second configuration setting, which is different from the first configuration setting, for a second computing task. A first computing node and a second computing node of the computing system may be booted according to the first and second configuration settings, and loaded with the first and second computing tasks for execution, respectively. After the first computing task finishes on the first computing node, the computing system may determine whether another computing task associated with the first configuration setting has not be executed, and when there is no such computing task remaining unexecuted, the computing system may reboot the first computing node according to a third configuration setting and load a third computing task into the first computing node for execution.
