Abstract
Workload distribution based on serviceability includes: generating, for each of a plurality of computing systems, a metric representing serviceability of the computing system for which the metric is generated; and distributing workload among said plurality of computing systems in dependence upon the metrics.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by first program instructions executing on a first computing system:
- generating, for each of a plurality of computing systems, a metric representing serviceability of the computing system for which the metric is generated;
- and
- distributing workload among said plurality of computing systems in dependence upon the metrics.
An apparatus comprising a computer processor and a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory including computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out:
- generating, for each of a plurality of computing systems, a metric representing serviceability of the computing system for which the metric is generated;
- and
- distributing workload among said plurality of computing systems in dependence upon the metrics.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out:
- generating, for each of a plurality of computing systems, a metric representing serviceability of the computing system for which the metric is generated;
- and
- distributing workload among said plurality of computing systems in dependence upon the metrics.
