  • Publication number: 20170083367
    Abstract: Methods and systems of managing a resource in a distributed resource management system can include: monitoring, by at least one processor, utilization of the resource being used by at least one workload; and performing an enforcement action on a particular workload of the at least one workload when a utilization condition is met, and when the particular workload has a current resource utilization exceeding its associated resource allocation limit.

  • Patent number: 9596148
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for optimizing service pools supporting resource sharing and enforcing SLAs, to minimize service restart. A computer processor determines a first resource to be idle, wherein a service instance continues to occupy the first resource that is idle. The processor adds the first resource to a resource pool, wherein the service instance continues to occupy the first resource as a global standby service instance on the first resource. The processor receives a request for a resource, wherein the request for the resource includes a global name associated with a service that corresponds to the global standby service instance, and the processor allocates, from the resource pool, the first resource having the global standby service instance, based on the request for the resource that includes the global name associated with the service corresponding to the global standby service instance.

  • Publication number: 20160306672
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for allocating multiple resources. In one embodiment, a configured resource plan is used to construct a hierarchical tree. The system then identifies a set of unowned resources from the configured resource plan and sends the set of unowned resource to a share pool. The share pool is either a global or local pool and can be accessed by one or more consumers. In response to changes in workload demands, a set of unused resources are lent to a global or local pool.

  • Patent number: 9417918
    Abstract: A single workload scheduler schedules sessions and tasks having a tree structure to resources, wherein the single workload scheduler has scheduling control of the resources and the tasks of the parent-child workload sessions and tasks. The single workload scheduler receives a request to schedule a child session created by a scheduled parent task that when executed results in a child task; the scheduled parent task is dependent on a result of the child task. The single workload scheduler receives a message from the scheduled parent task yielding a resource based on the resource not being used by the scheduled parent task, schedules tasks to backfill the resource, and returns the resource yielded by the scheduled parent task to the scheduled parent task based on receiving a resume request from the scheduled parent task or determining dependencies of the scheduled parent task have been met.
