Multicomputer System and Method for the Configuration of a Multicomputer System

摘要

To configure a multicomputer system with a plurality of computers, at least one computer group is set for providing each service, wherein a first one of the computers, on which runs an agent, assigned to the corresponding service and the corresponding computer group, is assigned to each computer group. A request from at least one of the agents is received by a central control unit. The request concerns the provision of at least one additional computer to the computer group to which the requesting agent is assigned. An assessment value is determined for each of a plurality of possible configurations of the multicomputer system that satisfy the request. From the set of determined assessment values, a superior assessment value is determined. The multicomputer system is then configured in a configuration associated with the superior assessment value.
