Abstract: A system, a storage device storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for tracking resource consumption by an invitee across multiple computational resources are described herein. For example, a first aggregated nodal log maintained by a first computational resource may be accessed. The first aggregated nodal log characterizes consumption from the first computational resource by the invitee. A second aggregated nodal log maintained by a second computational resource is also accessed. The second aggregated nodal log characterizes consumption from the second computational resource by the invitee. The resource consumption of resources within the cloud system by the invitee is then determined. The determination may be based on combining the first usage data of the first invitee usage record with the second usage data of the second invitee usage record. A corrective action within the cloud system is then performed based on the resource consumption.

Abstract: A method for allocating a resource to a requesting execution entity may include deriving at least one independently accessible resource head from the global resource, assigning the at least one resource head to the execution entity, and allocating resources from the assigned resource head to the execution entity.
