Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed for migrating network resources to improve network utilization, for use in a multi-node network wherein nodes of the network share network resources. The method comprises the steps of identifying a group of nodes that share one of the network resources, and identifying one of the nodes satisfying a specified condition based on at least one defined access latency metric. The shared resource is moved to the identified one of the nodes to reduce overall access latency to access the shared resource by said group of nodes. One embodiment of the invention provides a method and system to synchronize tasks in a distributed computation using network attached devices (NADs). A second embodiment of the invention provides a method and system to reduce lock latency and network traffic by migrating lock managers to coupling facility locations closest to nodes seeking resource access.

Claim (Index 16):
An article of manufacture comprising a program storage device readable by computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a method for migrating a lock manager to improve network utilization, for use in a multi-node network wherein nodes of the network share network resources, said method comprising:\n for each of a plurality of the computers of the first group of computers, determining an associated aggregate access latency time, based on at least one defined access latency metric, indicating an aggregate latency time for requests from the computers of said first group of computers, in aggregate, to reach said each computer of said plurality of the computers; identifying one of the computers from the first group of computers based on said aggregate access latency times; moving said lock manager from the second data center to a location in the first data center based on the identified one of the computers from the first group of computers; and each of the computers having a resource indirection table including information for identifying the said one of the computers from the first group of computers.
