Abstract:
A communication path management apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and to decide, for each of processing-pairs, part of inter-adjacent-server communication paths that couple adjacent servers on communication paths among servers in the network as data-transfer-paths used for data transfer from a first processing to a second processing of a processing-pair, the processing-pair including first and second processings that are consecutive in the order of execution, based on an execution track record of the first processing that is earlier in the order of execution and the second processing that is later in the order of execution in the processing-pair in each of the servers, and instruct servers at both ends of the data-transfer-paths decided regarding each of the processing-pairs to carry out data transfer of an execution result of the first processing by the data-transfer-paths.

Claim (Index 7):
A communication path management method for a distributed system, which includes a plurality of servers, executing a plurality distributed applications, the method comprising:\n obtaining a processing pair that includes first processing and second processing being executed sequentially; identifying candidate servers based on history data relating to the first processing and the second processing, the candidate servers being a subset of the plurality of servers and including at least a first server and a second server to perform the first processing and second processing respectively; establishing a communication path between the first server and the second server of the candidate servers to transfer data for the first processing and the second processing; and limiting inter-adjacent-server communication paths to paths between candidate servers of the plurality of servers of the distributed system.
