Abstract:

Extensible resource management is one of the key issues in the design of crypto cluster server.Based on the analysis to features of crypto processing, this paper presents a method to use crypto algorithm threads delegate the processing resource of crypto chips.An algorithm resource table is also designed in the manager server which used to register the connection handles and the corresponding algorithm attributes. By registering the attributes with the connection handle, the manager can monitor, schedule and add（or delete）process resource transparently.The manager can schedule system resources to support parallel data processing among crypto chips in crypto modules.These designs also implement the extensible resource management of crypto cluster server.

Key words: cluster computing, resource management, job scheduling, cryptographic processing
