  • Publication number: 20200233724
    Abstract: A method for allocating a workload to a cluster machine of a plurality of cluster machines which are part of a computer cluster operating in a cluster computing environment, includes the step of collecting values from hardware performance counters of each of the cluster machines while the cluster machines are running different workloads. A value of a hardware performance counter from a system which executed the workload to be allocated in isolation and the values from the hardware performance counters of each of the cluster machines which are running the different workloads are used as input to a machine learning algorithm trained to provide as output in each case a prediction of a performance of the workload on each of the cluster machines which are running the different workloads. The cluster machine is selected for placement of the workload based on the predictions.
