Computing metrics as a service (CMAS) for facilitating traffic steering in CATS framework
In the context of CATS applications, resource modeling and dynamic
scheduling face core challenges: heterogeneous computing resources
(e.g., CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs) with differentiated characteristics are
difficult to unify through traditional coarse-grained metrics (e.g.,
virtual machine/container counts). Moreover, dynamically changing
resource states (e.g., resource occupancy, service instance load
cycles) complicate routing table maintenance in network nodes,
creating bottlenecks for resources scheduling. This document
provides a service-oriented computing capability modeling framework,
abstracting heterogeneous resources into standardized service units
for efficient resource modelling and traffic steering.
