Distributed computing based on multiple nodes with determined capacity selectively joining resource groups having resource requirements
First Claim
1. A method in a computing node, comprising:
- determining by the computing node an available node capacity for the computing node relative to any resource groups having been joined by the computing node, each resource group having a corresponding resource requirement that is necessary for any computing node joining the resource group to allocate for providing a corresponding distributed computing service within a network;
selectively creating and joining by the computing node a new resource group, as a first of the resource groups, based at least on the computing node determining that the corresponding resource requirement is less than the available node capacity;
selectively joining by the computing node, within the network, a second of the resource groups based on the computing node determining the corresponding resource requirement of the second resource group being less than the available node capacity; and
executing by the computing node the distributed computing services for the resource groups having been joined by the computing node, according to the respective resource requirements, each computing node retaining its own control to decide whether to join or leave any of the resource groups.

Abstract
A network provides distributed computing services based on participation in respective resource groups by computing nodes, each resource group including a corresponding resource requirement for any computing node that joins the corresponding resource group for execution of the corresponding distributed computing service. Each computing node, in response to determining its corresponding available node capacity, is configured for selectively creating and joining at least one new resource group for execution of a corresponding distributed computing service having a corresponding resource requirement, and/or selectively joining at least one of the available resource groups, based on the corresponding available node capacity satisfying the corresponding resource requirement. Each computing node also is configured for selectively leaving any one of the joined resource groups based on determined conditions. Hence, each computing node may choose to participate in as many resource groups as needed for respective computing services, based on the corresponding available node capacity.
