Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises executing respective workload management processes within a plurality of computing compartments to allocate at least processor resources to applications executed within the plurality of computing compartments, selecting a master workload management process to reallocate processor resources between the plurality of computing compartments in response to requests from the workload management processes to receive additional resources, monitoring operations of the master workload management process by the other workload management processes, detecting, by the other workload management processes, when the master workload management process becomes inoperable, and selecting a replacement master workload management process by the other workload management processes in response to the detecting.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for allocating computer resources. The method may be implemented in software instructions in a resource allocator that allocates resources among workloads operating on the system. Parameters defining service level objectives for the execution of workloads are received from a user input device. At least one of the service level objectives is a utilization cap that limits the overall allocation of system resources among the workloads. The parameters include priorities for the service level objectives, including the utilization cap. As the workloads execute on the system, utilization data is received indicating usage of system resources. Resources are allocated to the workloads according to the priorities of the service level objectives and based on the utilization data.
