  • Controlling computing resource consumption
    Patent number: 8782655
    Abstract: A method and a corresponding system, implemented as programming on a computer system, controls resource consumption in the computer system. The method includes the steps of monitoring current consumption of resources by workloads executing on the computer system; predicting future consumption of the resources by the workloads; adjusting assignment of resources to workloads based on the predicted future consumption, comprising: determining consumption policies for each workload, comparing the policies to the predicted future consumption, and increasing or decreasing resources for each workload based on the comparison; and providing a visual display of resource consumption and workload execution information, the visual display including iconic values indicating predicted consumption of instant capacity resources and authorization to consume instant capacity resources.
