Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for processing a gateway device fault. According to one embodiment, when a fault on a gateway device is detected, computing tasks currently executed by the faulty gateway device are acquired; to-be-allocated computing tasks are screened out according to parameters configured when the computing tasks are issued; the computing tasks running on the faulty gateway device are terminated, and the to-be-allocated computing tasks are scheduled to other gateway devices in a normal state according to a preset scheduling strategy. Further, task states of the to-be-allocated computing tasks are recovered, and the to-be-allocated computing tasks are executed by the other gateway devices. Embodiments of the present application can help avoid the problem that computing tasks fail due to a fault occurring in the gateway device, thereby the overall execution efficiency of the computing tasks and ensuring system stability.
