METHOD OF CENTRALISED PLANNING OF TASKS TO BE EXECUTED BY COMPUTERS SATISFYING CERTAIN QUALITATIVE CRITERIA WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED SET OF COMPUTERS

摘要

A method of disseminating a planning of tasks in a network of distributed computers (14), the distributed computers being qualitatively described by at least a predetermined criterion making it possible to define classes of distributed computers, the network furthermore comprising a planning server, comprises: the programming (31, 32, 33, 34) on the planning server (12), of a planning of tasks for at least one class of distributed computers; and, independently the defining (35) of ranges of transfer to the distributed computers of information allocated to each distributed computer, the transfer range being defined as a function of the constraints of the network; the splitting (36) of the planned tasks into scheduling information, for each distributed computer and for a period of time dependent on the transfer ranges defined, the scheduling information being generated as a function of the class or classes to which the computer belongs; the transfer (37) to the distributed computers of the scheduling information while complying with the transfer ranges defined.
