TagsLet us assume that you have been tasked with producing a business requirement using the IBM InfoSphere Streams platform. The first thing you need to do is develop a high level system design that identifies the main components of the system. As shown in Figure 3-1, there are two main components to this design:
- A logical design identifying the application components to be produced.
- A physical component design identifying the runtime components and hardware platform required to support your application and deliver the level of performance that is required.
At run time, the Streams Scheduler determines how to efficiently segment the application across the hardware hosts. The application should be segmented to produce suitably sized deployable Processing Elements for the Streams Scheduler to deploy.
