Technique for efficient parallelization of software analysis in a distributed computing environment through intelligent dynamic load balancing

摘要

A method for verifying software includes monitoring a resource queue and a job queue, determining whether the resource queue and the job queue contain entries, and if both the resource queue and the job queue contain entries, then applying a scheduling policy to select a job, selecting a worker node as a best match for the characteristics of the job among the resource queue entries, assigning the job to the worker node, assigning parameters to the worker node for a job creation policy for creating new jobs in the job queue while executing the job, and assigning parameters to the worker node for a termination policy for halting execution of the job. The resource queue indicates worker nodes available to verify a portion of code. The job queue indicates one or more jobs to be executed by a worker node. A job includes a portion of code to be verified.
