First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of configuring a computing system carried out by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- initiating a hardware performance assessment test on a group of available nodes to obtain actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes; and
selecting a subset of nodes for the computing system from the group of available nodes based on a comparison by the one or more computing devices of the actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes and desired hardware performance characteristics, the subset of nodes being operative to share processing of a workload.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and system for configuring a computing system, such as a cloud computing system. A method includes initiating a hardware performance assessment test on a group of available nodes to obtain actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes. The method further includes selecting a subset of nodes for the computing system from the group of available nodes based on a comparison of the actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes and desired hardware performance characteristics.

9. A computing configuration system comprising:
-
a data monitor configurator operative to initiate a hardware performance assessment test on a group of available nodes to obtain actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes, and a node configurator operative to select a subset of nodes for a computing system that are operative to share processing of a workload, the subset of nodes being selected from the group of available nodes based on a comparison by the node configurator of the actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes and desired hardware performance characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
executable instructions such that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to; initiate a hardware performance assessment test on a group of available nodes to obtain actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes; and select a subset of nodes for a computing system that are operative to share processing of a workload, the subset of nodes being selected from the group of available nodes based on a comparison by the at least one processor of the actual hardware performance characteristics of the group of available nodes and desired hardware performance characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
