Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for controlling load allocation in a cluster system includes a cluster module having a plurality of target nodes and a cluster power management module. The cluster power management module analyzes resource usage of the target nodes by monitoring the load states of the target nodes. The cluster power management module adaptively allocates loads to the target nodes based on the analyzed resource usage and N allocation thresholds settled in response to an increase of the analyzed resource usage. The cluster power management module controls the target nodes so that the power state can be changed with the adaptively allocated loads.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for controlling load allocation in a cluster system, the apparatus comprising: a cluster module having a plurality of target nodes, each target node having three or more different power states; and a cluster power management module configured to analyze resource usage of the target nodes by monitoring load states of the target nodes, allocate loads to the target nodes based on the analyzed resource usage and N allocation thresholds in response…
