Description

The present invention relates to a program introduction support system, a program introduction support method, and a program introduction support program.

For business entities that operate extensively across multiple countries and regions, a large amount of data generated at business bases (factories, etc.) that are dispersed among them is collected and analyzed, and the results are obtained. It is required to monitor each base based on the above. And there is an increasing need to automate these series of operations.

However, in recent years, as the amount of data to be analyzed has increased rapidly, it has become unrealistic to aggregate various data existing in each business base on a central server or the like. Therefore, data analysis by so-called edge computing, in which each base performs data processing in a distributed manner, has come to be performed.

For example, in Non-Patent Document 1, for data processing on a large-scale cluster, a map function that generates an intermediate value of a key / value pair and all intermediate value values are associated with the same intermediate value key and merged. A technique for performing distributed computing in parallel based on the reduce function is disclosed.

Then, the first information processing apparatus 20 executes a process of measuring the amount of data input / output in each unit program (hereinafter, referred to as an I / O measurement process) during the execution of this selection program (s33). The details of this process will be described later. The selected program continues to be executed as long as the conditions set in the test information input process are satisfied.

As a method of test-execution of this selection program, for example, each unit program may be actually transferred to the first information processing device 20 or the second information processing device 40 according to the selection combination in advance. 1 A virtual management program according to a selection combination is constructed based on a simulator or the like provided in advance in the information processing device 20 or the like (each unit program is arranged in the first information processing device 20 or the second information processing device 40). Build a virtual environment), you may do this.

The first information processing apparatus 20 aggregates the results of the I / O measurement processing performed in s33 (s34). Specifically, for example, the first information processing apparatus 20 calculates the total amount of data transferred between each microprogram (for example, the total amount of communication) while the selection program is being executed.

The first information processing apparatus 20 determines whether or not there is another combination other than the selection combination previously selected in s32 (s35).

If there is no other combination (s35: N), the process of s36 described later is performed, and if there is another combination (s35: Y), the first information processing apparatus 20 newly adds the other combination. The selection combination is used, and the process of s33 is repeated.

In s36, the first information processing apparatus 20 determines whether or not there is a result (combination) that satisfies the policy based on the result aggregated in s34. That is, the first information processing apparatus 20 identifies the content of the policy specified in s1 by acquiring the policy information DB 340, and determines whether or not the content of the policy satisfies the result aggregated in s34. ..

Specifically, for example, when the specified policy includes a predetermined threshold value (for example, 50 MB), the first information processing apparatus 20 in each combination calculated in s34, the amount of input / output data in the combination. It is determined whether each of the above is not exceeding the threshold value, and all the combinations in which all of the input / output data do not exceed the threshold value are extracted.

Further, for example, when the policy with the policy ID "1" shown in FIG. 7 is specified, the total communication amount calculated in s34 does not exceed "16384MB" in the first information processing apparatus 20 and All combinations in which the amount of data transferred per hour does not exceed "512 MB / min" are extracted.

Further, for example, when the policy of the policy ID "4" is specified, the first information processing apparatus 20 acquires the hardware attribute information (contents of the attribute 353) of each communication device from the single performance information DB 350. , All the combinations in which the acquired attributes satisfy the performance (attribute) indicated by the value 344 of the policy information DB 340 are extracted.

Further, for example, when the policy with the policy ID "5" is specified, the first information processing device 20 acquires information for identifying the second information processing device 40 handling confidential data from a predetermined database or the like. , All combinations that do not include the second information processing apparatus 40 are extracted.

Further, for example, when the policy of the policy ID "6" is specified, the first information processing apparatus 20 uses the communication performance information DB 360 to provide information on the communication performance of each communication device (contents of bandwidth 364 or execution speed 365). Is acquired, and all combinations in which the acquired communication performance satisfies the performance indicated by the value 344 of the policy information DB 340 are extracted.

When the first information processing apparatus 20 determines that there is a result satisfying the policy by the above processing (s36: Y), the processing of s37 described later is executed, and the first information processing apparatus 20 satisfies the policy. When it is determined that there is no result (s36: N), the first information processing apparatus 20 transmits information indicating an error to the terminal 30, the terminal 30 outputs the information, and the program introduction support process ends. (S39).

In s37, the first information processing apparatus 20 identifies the result that most matches the policy among the results (combinations) that satisfy the policy. That is, the first information processing apparatus 20 specifies the combination with the smallest total communication amount among the combinations extracted in s34.

When there are a plurality of combinations in which the total communication amount does not differ significantly regardless of whether they are arranged in the first information processing device 20 or the second information processing device 40, the first information processing device 20 has a high data processing capacity. The combination in which each unit program is arranged in the information processing device (generally, the first information processing device 20) may be preferentially selected.

This completes the placement determination process (s38).

As shown in the figure, first, among the processes executed by each microprogram 80, the first information processing apparatus 20 is related to the input of data from the other microprogram 80, and the data to the other microprogram 80. An identification number (hereinafter, also referred to as a port number) is assigned to each of the processes related to the output of the above (hereinafter, also referred to as a port 85 in the present specification) (s331). In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a process (port) related to data output to another microprogram 80 and a process (port) related to data input corresponding to this process. Are given the same number.

Then, the first information processing apparatus 20 monitors the data input / output processing performed by each microprogram during the execution of the selection program (s332). Specifically, the first information processing apparatus 20 measures the amount of data input and the amount of data output at each port 85.

After the execution of the selection program is completed, the first information processing apparatus 20 records the data input amount and output amount measured in s332 in the transfer amount data DB 380 (s333).

Here, the transfer amount data DB 380 will be described.
<Transfer amount DB>
