Abstract

For resource allocation of resources for a dual activity system, each of the dual activities may be started at a static quota and is allocated its respective static quota of resources, and determining which of the dual activities is a demanding dual activity. The resource boundary may be increased for a resource request for at least one of the dual activities until a resource request for an alternative one of the at least one of the dual activities is rejected. A reduced actual resource boundary for the demanding dual activity based on a multiplicative decrease of the dual activity's actual resource boundary is calculated, and the resource boundary for the at least one of the dual activities may be reduced, and a wait after decrease mode may be commenced until a current resource usage is one of less than and equal to the reduced resource boundary.

Claims7

Dependent claims

A method for resource allocation of a plurality of resources for a dual activities system by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:

starting at least two dual activities, wherein each of the dual activities is allocated its respective static quota of resources,
determining which of the dual activities is a demanding dual activity, wherein the demanding dual activity requests resources in excess of its static quota,
increasing an actual resource boundary for a resource request for the demanding dual activity until a resource request for the other dual activity is rejected, and
in response to the rejection of the resource request for the other dual activity,
calculating a reduced actual resource boundary for the demanding dual activity based on a multiplicative decrease of the dual activity's actual resource boundary, and
reducing the actual resource boundary of the demanding dual activity in accordance with the calculation, wherein the reducing does not reduce the actual resource boundary below the static quota of the demanding dual activity.
