Abstract
An approach for managing resources in a distributed computing system includes establishing dedicated process pools on nodes where work is to be performed. Each dedicated process pool is associated with a particular remote node and includes one or more processes. The one or more processes in each dedicated process pool perform work on behalf of processes on the associated remote node. Each dedicated process pool is managed by processes on the associated remote node using local synchronization data maintained on the associated remote node. The assignment of particular processes to perform work on behalf of processes on the associated remote node is performed by the processes on the associated remote node. In addition, the spawning of additional processes or the termination of existing processes from a dedicated process pool is managed by the processes on the associated remote node.
