Abstract:
1. A power management method of a cluster system, the method comprising: checking a current load of the system which is periodically collected and recording the load of the system for each time period; classifying management target nodes into a power on group and a power off group according to a profile which is recorded with the current load of the system and the load of the cluster system; powering on all the management target nodes assigned to the power on group; notifying a load balancer/switch of information on the management target nodes belonging to the power on group and the power off group to distribute a task only to the power on group; and powering off all the management target nodes assigned to the power off group, wherein the classifying of the management target nodes, includes correcting the load recorded in the profile, wherein a first correction load is calculated by adding a predetermined value (a) to the profile load when an actual load exceeds the profile, wherein a second correction load is calculated by adding a difference value between the current load and the profile load to the first correction load when a difference value between the first correction load and the current load is smaller than a threshold value by a rapid increase of the load of the system.
