Composable DPU core matrix for sustainable service levels

A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer to perform a method for adjusting data processing unit (DPU) utilization of a storage array, the method comprising:

• sampling input-output (IO) of the storage array;
• forecasting, based on the sampling, demand for the storage array, wherein the storage array comprises a DPU core matrix;
• making a first determination, based on the forecasting, that at least one service level (SL) of a plurality of SLs associated with the DPU core matrix is out of compliance;
• identifying, based on the first determination, at least one DPU of the DPU core matrix currently operating at a first SL;
• and
• adjusting, based on the identifying, operation of the at least one DPU to operate from the first SL to a second SL of the plurality of SLs.

A system for adjusting data processing unit (DPU) utilization of a storage array, the system comprising:

• persistent storage;
• and
• a computing device, comprising a processor and memory, programmed to:
• sample input-output (IO) of the storage array;
• forecast, based on the sampling, demand for the storage array, wherein the storage array comprises a DPU core matrix;
• make a first determination, based on the forecasting, that at least one service level (SL) of a plurality of SLs associated with the DPU core matrix is out of compliance;
• identify, based on the first determination, at least one DPU of the DPU core matrix currently operating at a first SL;
• and
• adjust, based on the identifying, operation of the at least one DPU to operate from the first SL to a second SL of the plurality of SLs.
