ABSTRACT:
A method, an apparatus, a computer program product, and a data processing system provide for operation of a virtual machine with embedded functionality for interoperating with other virtual machines in a computational grid. A plurality of virtual machines are run on one or more devices within a data processing system; each virtual machine in the plurality of virtual machines incorporates functionality for interoperating and associating with other virtual machines in a virtual machine cluster in a grid-like manner. Each virtual machine in the virtual machine cluster acts as a node within the virtual machine cluster. A virtual machine manages its objects in association with an object group, and each virtual machine may manage multiple object groups. The virtual machines share information such that the object groups can be moved between virtual machines in the virtual machine cluster, thereby allowing the virtual machine cluster to act as one logical virtual machine.
