Abstract
A computing node management system includes a central offload node and a plurality of computing nodes. A riser card is inserted into each computing node. Each riser card is connected to the central offload node. Each riser card establishes a communication channel between the central offload node and the computing node into which the riser card is inserted. The central offload node is configured to provide resources for the plurality of computing nodes through the communication channels.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a central offload node;
- and
- a plurality of computing nodes,
- wherein a riser card is inserted into each computing node, each riser card is connected to the central offload node, each riser card establishes a communication channel between the central offload node and the computing node into which the riser card is inserted, and the central offload node is configured to provide resources for the plurality of computing nodes through the communication channels;
- wherein the communication channel comprises an inter-node communication sub-channel and an intra-node communication sub-channel, the inter-node communication sub-channel is provided between the riser card and the central offload node, and the intra-node communication sub-channel is provided between the riser card and the computing node into which the riser card is inserted;
- wherein the resources e comprise a network resource;
- the central offload node is connected to a network device that provides the network resource;
- a third virtual device is deployed on a third riser card in the plurality of riser cards;
- a third cloud instance in a third computing node into which the third riser card is inserted is bound to the third virtual device;
- the central offload node allocates, to the third virtual device through a third inter-node communication sub-channel, the network resource of the network device connected to the central offload node;
- and the third cloud instance accesses, through a third intra-node communication sub-channel, the third virtual device to which the network resource is allocated.
A method for managing a plurality of computing nodes, wherein the method is applied to a central offload node, a riser card is inserted into each of the plurality of computing nodes, each riser card is connected to the central offload node, each riser card establishes a communication channel between the central offload node and the computing node into which the riser card is inserted, and the method comprises:
- providing, by the central offload node, resources for the plurality of computing nodes through the communication channels;
- and
- separately managing, by the central offload node, the plurality of computing nodes through the communication channels;
- wherein the communication channel comprises an inter-node communication sub-channel and an intra-node communication sub-channel, the inter-node communication sub-channel is provided between the riser card and the central offload node, and the intra-node communication sub-channel is provided between the riser card and the computing node into which the riser card is inserted;
- wherein the resources comprise a network-resource;
- the central offload node is connected to a network device that provides the network resource;
- a third virtual device is deployed on a third riser card in the plurality of riser cards;
- a third computing node into which the third riser card is inserted or a third cloud instance running on the third computing node is bound to the third virtual device through a third intra-node communication sub-channel;
- and providing, by the central offload node, resources for the plurality of computing nodes through the communication channels comprises allocating, by the central offload node to the third virtual device through a third inter-node communication sub-channel, the network resource of the network device connected to the central offload node.
