Resource allocation to game titles in a remote gaming environment

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• monitoring computing resources used by a plurality of monitoring groups associated with a plurality of game titles running on a plurality of computing devices, wherein game sessions are allocated to a first monitoring group based on a characteristic shared by the game sessions;
• creating a new game session with a specific game title;
• determining active computer memory for an existing game session in a monitoring group associated with the specific game title;
• determining a shared attribute between the new game session and the existing game session in the monitoring group associated with the specific game title;
• and
• based on the shared attribute, recycling a game code used by the existing game session and allocating the game code in the active computer memory to the new game session.

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• computer storage memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, implement a method of managing computing resources allocated to a remote game service, the method comprising:
• monitoring computing resources used by a first monitoring group among a plurality of monitoring groups, wherein game sessions are allocated to the first monitoring group based on a game title and a location shared by the game sessions;
• determining a total amount of standby resources not actively being utilized by the game sessions;
• monitoring resource demands associated with the first monitoring group, the resource demands including a count of all active game sessions in the first monitoring group;
• calculating a dynamic threshold for the standby resources based on a demand characteristic of the resource demands associated with the first monitoring group;
• determining that the total amount of standby resources is below the dynamic threshold;
• and
• allocating additional standby resources to the first monitoring group in response to the total amount of standby resources being below the dynamic threshold.
