Abstract
A method and system for updating a demand profile used in a computing utility includes receiving a demand profile associated with an application that identifies a required resource demand during time slots in a demand cycle, receiving trending specification information used during admission to the computing utility and updating the demand profile when indicated in light of trending specification information and resource demand.
Claims22
A method of updating a demand profile used in a computing utility, comprising:
- receiving a demand profile associated with an application that identifies a required resource demand during time slots in a demand cycle;
- receiving trending specification information used during admission to the computing utility;
- and
- updating the demand profile when indicated in light of trending specification information and resource demand.
An apparatus for updating a demand profile used in a computing utility, comprising:
- a processor capable of executing instructions;
- a memory containing instructions when executed cause the processor to receive a demand profile associated with an application that identifies a required resource demand during time slots in a demand cycle, receive trending specification information used during admission to the computing utility and update the demand profile when indicated in light of trending specification information and resource demand.
A computer program product for updating a demand profile used in a computing utility, comprising instructions operable to cause a programmable processor to:
- receive a demand profile associated with an application that identifies a required resource demand during time slots in a demand cycle;
- receive trending specification information used during admission to the computing utility;
- and
- update the demand profile when indicated in light of trending specification information and resource demand.
An apparatus for updating a demand profile used in a computing utility, comprising:
- means for receiving a demand profile associated with an application that identifies a required resource demand during time slots in a demand cycle;
- means for receiving a trending specification information used during admission to the computing utility;
- and
- means for updating the demand profile when indicated in light of trending specification information and resource demand.
