The service is provided by executing the service process in response to the service request sent from 2. At this time, the service providing unit 43 instructs the computer 3 to execute the service process to be executed or a part thereof. The service request is a service provision request, and the service processing is information processing by software related to the realization of the service. Further, the execution result of the process in each designated computer 3 is acquired and provided to the service use client 2. The incentive calculation processing unit 44 calculates an incentive to be paid to each computer 3 selected as a distribution destination of processing when executing service processing.

  Each component 41-44 in the service server 4 is implement | achieved by cooperation operation | movement of the program which operate | moves with the computer which forms the service server 4, and CPU11 mounted in the computer. The information storage units 52 and 53 are realized by the HDD 14 installed in the service server 4. Alternatively, the information storage units 52 and 53 may be provided outside the service server 4 so that the information storage units 52 and 53 can be accessed.

  The computer 3 includes an information transmission unit 31, an installation unit 32, and a service execution unit 33. The information transmission unit 31 transmits user information and computer information to the service server 4. The installation unit 32 installs a grid framework in order to construct a grid computing environment.

  Each component 31-33 in the computer 3 is implement | achieved by the cooperative operation | movement of the computer and the program which operate | moves by CPU11 mounted in the computer.

  Further, the program used in this embodiment can be provided not only by communication means but also by storing it in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the installation program. The same applies to other embodiments.

  Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described. The present embodiment is characterized in that the computer 3 that is not included in the cloud computing is caused to execute processing related to the service by using the grid computing infrastructure. The processing until the grid computing environment is set will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The computer 3 creates an account for the service executed on the cloud computing 1. At this time, when the information transmission unit 31 transmits the user information of the computer 3, the registration processing unit 41 registers it in the user information storage unit 52 (step 101). If you have already registered as a user, log in. Further, when the information transmission unit 31 transmits the computer information, the registration processing unit 41 registers it in the computer information storage unit 53 (step 102). Subsequently, the environment setting unit 42 sets the grid computing environment in the computer 3 by accessing the computer 3 based on the user information and installing the grid framework (step 103). This environment setting fuses cloud computing and grid computing.

  In the present embodiment, the environment setting unit 42 mainly sets the environment of the computer 3, but the user of the computer 3 may download and install the grid framework.

  Next, characteristic service distribution processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the service use client 2 transmits a use request for a service provided by the cloud computing 1, the service request receiving unit 46 receives this request (step 111). In response to this request, the service providing unit 43 generates a job for executing service processing corresponding to the requested service. At this time, the service providing unit 43 determines whether the job can be distributed and executed. A process that can be executed in a distributed manner is a process to which a programming pattern such as MapReduce used in mining is applied. In the case where the provision of the service is the provision of a website for Internet shopping, the present invention can be applied to a process for obtaining statistics such as tastes and seasonal trends from the purchase history, comments, purchase timing, etc. of the customer. If it cannot be executed in a distributed manner (N in Step 112), the service providing unit 43 generates a job to be executed in the service server 4 and executes the job (Step 118). On the other hand, if it can be executed in a distributed manner (Y in step 112), the resource acquisition unit 47 acquires the resource information of the computer 3 whose computer information is registered in the computer information storage unit 53 (step 113). The resource information is computer information registered in the computer information storage unit 53, particularly information related to computer resources. In addition to the information related to computer resources, the current operation status of the computer 3 (CPU occupancy rate, A free memory amount or the like) may be acquired. The computer determination unit 48 refers to the acquired resource information and distributes all the computers 3 satisfying a predetermined selection criterion such as comparison with a threshold value or a predetermined number of computers 3 to a processing distribution destination. (Step 114). When the service providing unit 43 divides the service processing to be executed and generates a job for distributed processing, the execution instructing unit 49 instructs the corresponding computer 3 to execute the processing according to the job (step 115). . The service server 4 may execute part of the service processing.

  Each computer 3 instructed to execute the process executes the instructed process and returns the execution result to the service server 4. When the execution result collection unit 50 acquires the execution result of the process from each distribution destination computer 3 (step 116), the execution result transmission unit 51 collectively transmits the execution result to the service use client 2 that is the service request source (step 116). Step 117).

  In the present embodiment, the service is provided in response to the service request from the service use client 2 in this way, but the service process is executed using the computer 3 when providing the service as described above. I did it. Therefore, the incentive calculation processing unit 44 in the present embodiment calculates an incentive according to the resource consumption (CPU time, memory amount, etc.) required for job execution for each computer 3 used in accordance with a predetermined calculation method. To do. The resource consumption may be inquired to each computer 3 by the incentive calculation processing unit 44 after the process is executed, or may be transmitted to the service server 4 together with the execution result of the process.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 6 is an overall configuration diagram of a service system using cloud computing in the present embodiment. 6 shows a cloud computing 1 that provides a rental service, a service use client 2 that is used by a user who uses the rental service, a computer 3, a service server 4 that constitutes the cloud computing 1, and a service server. 4 shows a service arrangement client 5 and a measurement management server 6 that arrange software for providing a service. The service arrangement client 5 causes software related to service provision to be applied to the service server 4 on the Internet. That is, the service placement client 5 stores (places) the software to be executed in the memory of the service server 4. This software may relate to all of one provided service or a part thereof. Further, for example, the service server 4 executes the software arranged by the service arrangement client 5 or combines the software arranged in advance and the software newly arranged by the service arrangement client 5 according to the situation. It is good also as providing a service by performing. The service server 4 is a virtual server realized by a server or a plurality of service servers that execute processing related to the rental service within the range of resource values set by a contract with the user.

  In the first embodiment, the service processing to be executed by the service server 4 when executing the service processing based on the service request requested from the service using client 2 after realizing the grid computing with the computer 3. Was distributed to the computer 3. In the present embodiment, the execution performance of service processing in the service server 4 is measured using the computer 3.

  The service use client 2 in the present embodiment uses the service arranged by the service arrangement client 5 using the computer resources of the cloud computing 1. The service server 4 executes service processing by activating the software arranged by the service arrangement client 5 in response to a request from the service use client 2. However, in order to confirm whether the cloud computing 1 provides its own service with good performance, the service placement client 5 requests the measurement management server 6 to measure the execution performance of the service processing. The measurement management server 6 instructs the computer 3 to perform measurement in response to a measurement request from the service placement client 5 and returns the measurement result collected from the computer 3 to the service placement client 5 that is the measurement request source. . The computer 3 measures the execution performance of the service process by using the service provided by the service server 4 in accordance with the instruction from the measurement management server 6. As a result, the performance can be measured by emulating the state actually used by the service use client 2 that is the user of the actual service by using the service by the computer.

  Since the measurement management server 6 in the present embodiment may be realized by a general-purpose hardware configuration of a computer that has existed in the past, it may be illustrated similarly to FIG. Further, the measurement management itself may be a service that operates on the cloud computing 1.

  FIG. 7 is a block configuration diagram of the service arrangement client 5, the measurement management server 6, and the computer 3 in the present embodiment. The service arrangement client 5 in this embodiment includes a measurement request transmission unit 21, a measurement result reception unit 22, a resource setting change unit 23, and a resource information storage unit 24. The measurement request transmission unit 21 transmits a measurement request to the measurement management server 6. The measurement result receiving unit 22 receives the measurement result from the measurement management server 6. The resource setting change unit 23 changes the setting of the resource value to be set in the service server 4. The resource information storage unit 24 stores information about resources to be set in the service server 4.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a setting example of the resource table stored in the resource information storage unit 24 in the present embodiment. In the resource table, a record configured by a combination of virtual computer resource (resource) setting values is set. Each record shown in FIG. 8 includes resource setting information such as the number of computer units, the memory capacity, the storage capacity of the external storage device, the type of OS, and the service server 4 within the setting range of the resource. Costs required are set in pairs.

  Each component 21 to 23 in the service arrangement client 5 is realized by a cooperative operation of a computer forming the service arrangement client 5 and a program operating on the CPU 11 mounted on the computer. Further, the resource information storage unit 24 is realized by the HDD 14 mounted on the service arrangement client 5.

  The measurement management server 6 includes a measurement request reception unit 61, a resource acquisition unit 62, a computer determination unit 63, a measurement instruction unit 64, a measurement result collection unit 65, and a measurement result transmission unit 66. The measurement request receiving unit 61 receives a measurement request in which the resource of the service server 4 and the setting values of parameters used for measurement are specified. The resource acquisition unit 62 acquires resource information used when determining the computer 3 that performs the measurement. The computer determination unit 63 determines one or a plurality of computers 3 that perform measurement based on the acquired resource information. The measurement instruction unit 64 instructs the determined computer 3 to perform measurement. At this time, a measurement program used for measurement is distributed. The measurement result collection unit 65 collects measurement results from each computer 3. The measurement result transmission unit 66 collectively transmits the collected measurement results to the measurement request source service arrangement client 5.

  Each component 41-44 in the service server 4 is implement | achieved by cooperation operation | movement of the program which operate | moves with the computer which forms the service server 4, and CPU11 mounted in the computer. The information storage units 52 and 53 are realized by the HDD 14 installed in the service server 4. Alternatively, the information storage units 52 and 53 may be provided outside the service server 4 so that the information storage units 52 and 53 can be accessed.

  The computer 3 has a measurement execution unit 34 that executes a measurement program with set parameters in accordance with an instruction from the measurement management server 6 and returns the execution result. The measurement execution part 34 is implement | achieved by cooperation operation | movement of the computer 3 and the program which operate | moves by CPU11 mounted in the computer.

  Next, measurement processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The measurement request transmission unit 21 sets a URL as information for specifying parameters for measurement and a web service to be measured, and transmits the measurement request to the measurement management server 6. The parameters to be set are data relating to conditions and methods for specifying the distribution destination of the measurement program, such as the number of measurement points (computer 3 to be measured), conditions for the computer 3 to be selected as measurement points, and the like. Furthermore, data related to the execution conditions and methods of the measurement program, such as commands and arguments used during measurement, response time-out time, expected response value, number of measurement repetitions in each computer 3, and measurement time interval, are set.

  When the measurement request receiving unit 61 receives a measurement request from the service placement client 5 (step 201), the resource acquisition unit 62 acquires the resource information of the computer 3 in the grid computing environment (step 202). The resource information is computer information registered in the computer information storage unit 53. As described in the first embodiment, the cloud computing 1 includes the computer 3 in the grid computing environment and each of the computers. Since the computer information of the computer 3 has already been acquired, the resource acquisition unit 62 may acquire the computer information from the service server 4 described in the first embodiment. Furthermore, in addition to the information regarding computer resources, the current operating status (CPU occupancy, free memory amount, etc.) of the computer 3 may be acquired. The computer determination unit 63 refers to the acquired resource information, and selects the computer 3 based on parameters set by the service placement client 5 such as the number of measurement points and selection conditions, and predetermined selection conditions. The computer 3 to be used for measurement is determined (step 203). Then, the measurement instructing unit 64 distributes a prepared measurement program to the selected computer 3 and sets execution parameters used when executing the measurement program with reference to the parameters set in the measurement request. (Step 204).

  Upon receiving the measurement instruction, the measurement execution unit 34 in the computer 3 refers to the transmitted parameter and repeatedly executes the measurement program at a specified time interval. In the measurement program, the sent parameter is set as an argument. In order to cope with the case where there is a parameter that is not set by the service arrangement client 5, an initial value may be set in advance, or may be set by a random number or the like. By executing the measurement program, the computer 3 accesses the service server 4 specified by the URL, and collects response times and the like due to this access as measurement results. The measurement execution unit 34 counts as a time-out error when the measured value actually exceeds the response time-out time, and counts as a service error when the response value does not reach the expected value. The measurement execution unit 34 executes the measurement program in this way, and transmits the measurement result obtained by the execution to the measurement management server 6.

  When the measurement is performed in each computer 3 as described above and the measurement result is sent, the measurement result collection unit 65 of the measurement management server 6 collects these measurement results (step 205), and the total result Is obtained (step 206). The measurement result transmission unit 66 transmits the total result as a measurement result to the service arrangement client 5 that is the measurement request source (step 207).

  Note that the aggregation result transmitted to the service arrangement client 5 may include information regarding the computer 3 that has performed the measurement. For example, the measurement management server 6 acquires access point information (identification information, address information, geometry information) to the computer 3, adds this information to the counting result, and transmits it to the service placement client 5. As a transmission form, the position on the map image indicated by the address information of the computer 3 may be expressed by combining a point or a symbol with the map image.

  The user of the service arrangement client 5 refers to the measurement result sent from the measurement management server 6 by displaying it on the display 18. Here, when it is determined that a desired response is not obtained, the user of the service placement client 5 may change the parameter to be set and perform measurement again.

  Further, the setting of the resource value of the service server 4 may be changed and the measurement may be requested again. That is, the resource setting changing unit 23 displays the resource set in the resource information storage unit 24 in response to a user operation on the display 18 and selects a record of any resource from the displayed items. When a desired response is not obtained, a record that is a resource with higher performance than the current one is usually selected. When one of the resource records is selected by the user, the resource setting changing unit 23 requests the service server 4 to change the resource of the service server 4 with the selected resource. In the service server 4, a predetermined resource value is set in advance when the service arrangement client 5 makes a rental service contract. Then, the measurement request transmission unit 21 transmits the measurement request to the measurement management server 6 again. Note that the processing after the transmission of the measurement request is as described with reference to FIG. Although the parameter value set in the measurement request may be changed, the same measurement result is not always obtained because the resource of the service server 4 is changed without being changed. If a high-performance resource value is set, it is expected that a better measurement result can be obtained than before the change. Thus, the measurement may be performed while changing the setting of the resource of the service server 4.

  The re-measurement process executed under the management of the measurement management server 6 is performed in the same manner as described above. However, in the case of re-measurement, statistical information indicating a difference from the measurement performed before that may be added to the measurement result and provided to the service placement client 5.

  In the present embodiment, the parameter required for measurement is set by the service placement client 5, but the measurement management server 6 distributes the measurement program periodically or at an arbitrary timing, and the computer 3 And the totaling result may be obtained in advance. In this case, an initial value may be set as the parameter value. In addition, when the service server 4 registers the nominal latency as information related to its performance in the measurement management server 6 and the aggregation result regarding the corresponding service is not obtained, the measurement management server 6 A nominal latency may be returned to the placement client 5. In this case, information indicating a nominal value instead of the measurement result may be added to the measurement result and transmitted.

  Moreover, the measurement management server 6 may change the provider, the area, and the number of computers 3 where the computer 3 is arranged and perform measurement again when expected measurement results such as the occurrence of many errors cannot be obtained. Further, as a measurement result, communication overhead and service-only latency may be handled separately.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the measurement management server 6 has been described as being implemented by any server that constitutes the cloud computing 1, but a computer that does not constitute the cloud computing 1 is used. It may be realized.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the second embodiment, when a desired response cannot be obtained, the resource value set in the service server 4 is changed and the measurement is repeatedly executed. As a result of repeating this measurement process, it is considered that a resource value that is considered to be optimal is obtained and that the resource value is set in the service server 4. Then, during the repetition of this measurement, the setting value of the service server 4 is changed many times, so that there is a possibility that the resource value considered to be optimal may not be known.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the measurement service server 7 is prepared separately from the service server 4 that actually provides the rental service, and the setting of the resource value of the service server 4 that provides the service is not changed. I did it.

  FIG. 10 is an overall configuration diagram of a service system using cloud computing in the present embodiment. FIG. 10 shows a configuration in which a service server 7 for measurement is provided in the cloud computing 1 in FIG. That is, in the present embodiment, when the measurement process is executed using the service server 7 and a resource value to be set in the service server 4 is obtained, the resource value is set in the service server 4. Then, the entire environment of the service server 7 used for measurement is deleted. In this way, the actual operation of the rental service is started. The service placement client 5 may upload a service for production to the cloud computing 1, or may perform switching such as permitting access with a production account or switching the database to production.
