Abstract
A method of operating a network-reachable initiator computing entity, comprising: determining a requirement, at the initiator computing entity, for offloading data processing; initiating a message, to be sent on a network to a destination, requesting a response from network-reachable recipient computing entities along the network, from the network-reachable initiator computing entity to the destination, indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing; and receiving a response from a first network-reachable recipient computing entity indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing.
Claims23
A method of operating a network-reachable initiator computing entity, comprising:
- determining a requirement, at the initiator computing entity, for offloading data processing;
- initiating a message, to be sent on a network to a destination, requesting a response from network-reachable recipient computing entities along the network, from the network-reachable initiator computing entity to the destination, indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing;
- and
- receiving a response from a first network-reachable recipient computing entity indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing.
An apparatus comprising:
- a data store,
- a processor, and
- dedicated electronic logic circuitry to:
- determine a requirement, at a network-reachable initiator computing entity, for offloading data processing;
- initiate a message, to be sent on a network to a destination, requesting a response from network-reachable recipient computing entities along the network, from the network-reachable initiator computing entity to the destination, indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing;
- and
- receive a response from a first network-reachable recipient computing
- entity indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer program code to, when loaded into a computer system and executed thereon, cause said computer system to:
- determine a requirement, at a network-reachable initiator computing entity, for offloading data processing;
- initiate a message, to be sent on a network to a destination, requesting a response from network-reachable recipient computing entities along the network, from the network-reachable initiator computing entity to the destination, indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing;
- and
- receive a response from a first network-reachable recipient entity indicating a capacity to perform offloaded data processing.
