Apparatus and a method for distributing load, and a non-transitory computer readable medium thereof

A method comprising:

• receiving a program of an energy saving service from a service provider;
• acquiring an external information related to the energy saving service;
• estimating a resource consumption of respective computer resources of a plurality of servers to execute the program, based on the external information;
• and
• selecting at least one server to be provided with the program from the plurality of servers, based on the resource consumption;
• wherein
• the receiving includes
• receiving meta information from the service provider, the meta information including a second resource consumption and a variation, the second resource consumption of the respective computer resources of the plurality of servers to execute the program comprises an estimate from the service provider, the variation being an amount that the second resource consumption varies when the external information satisfies a specific condition, and
• the estimating includes
• estimating a sum of the second resource consumption and the variation as the resource consumption when the external information satisfies the specific condition.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for causing a computer to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a program of an energy saving service from a service provider;
• acquiring an external information related to the energy saving service;
• estimating a resource consumption of respective computer resources of a plurality of servers to execute the program, based on the external information;
• and
• selecting at least one server to be provided with the program from the plurality of servers, based on the resource consumption;
• wherein
• the receiving includes
• receiving meta information from the service provider, the meta information including a second resource consumption and a variation, the second resource consumption of the respective computer resources of the plurality of servers to execute the program comprising an estimate by the service provider, the variation being an amount that the second resource consumption varies when the external information satisfies a specific condition, and
• the estimating includes
• estimating a sum of the second resource consumption and the variation as the resource consumption when the external information satisfies the specific condition.
