Patent ID: 8463822

Claim:
A method of merging data for distributed computing, the method comprising: under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, parsing by a data merging server a configuration file using a predetermined interface standard that normalizes different applications processed by the distributed computing, the configuration file including a data insertion method and a data merge method; creating by the data merging server a database table for data merging according to the configuration file; receiving, from multiple distributed nodes, distributed computational result data corresponding to distributed computing tasks; inserting individual data block of multiple data blocks that are included in the distributed computational result data into a corresponding field of the database table based on the data insertion method; identifying certain data of the received distributed computational result data; and merging the certain data in the database table based on the data merge method by: grouping multiple distributed computational results included in the distributed computational result data that have a same profile ID and a same reporting time in the database table, and computing a sum of values of the grouped multiple distributed results.
