Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Selecting a master node in a group of computing nodes. Computing nodes exchange suitability messages, candidate messages, and master messages to indicate the state of each node. A deterministic algorithm based on scores and timings is executed by each computing node to encourage each node to select the same master node.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a memory for storing a first suitability value representing a performance metric associated with a first node of a plurality of computing nodes that execute a plurality of virtual machines; a communication interface configured to transmit a suitability message including the suitability value to the plurality of computing nodes; and a processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface, wherein the processor is programmed…
